Expectations

by Evelyn Rainey

Expect it to hurt like Hell.

You will heal.

Expect it to be messy.

You will wash.

Expect your heart to be broken.

You will find love again.

Expect your body to die.

Your soul is eternal.

History is changed so often by so few.

There's a Hole in My Foodbot

To the tune of There’s a Hole in my Bucket

There’s a hole in my foodbot, Salt Yarrow, Salt Yarrow

There’s a hole in my foodbot, Salt Yarrow, a hole!

Well fix it First Chief, First Chief, First Chief.

Well fix it First Chief, First Chief fix it!

With what shall I fix it, Salt Yarrow, Salt Yarrow?

With what shall I fix it, Salt Yarrow, with what?

With a tyndale First Chief, First Chief, First Chief.

With a tyndale First Chief, First Chief a tyndale.

(the tyndale was too weak to do the job, so it needed a battery, which was in the storeroom but the storeroom was locked and the captain had the key.But the captain was on shore leave, and on and on.)

Drinking whiskey
