Scarecrow
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
Dorothy
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin' you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Scarecrow
Oh, I could tell you why
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.

Scarecrow
Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.
What exactly is a ding-a-derry anyway?
Oh well.
That is how I'm feeling lately...my head all full of stuffin'.
But, I did write just under a thousand words this weekend. That's a good sign.
I should be writing now, and I intend to get back to it, but I feel really bad about not blogging on schedule for the past 2 weeks and I just wanted to say hello to you guys.
I hope you are all doing well.
i'd be the cowardly lion.
ReplyDeletecourage, please!
if i only had the noive!
Love Scarecrow's song. My son used to go around the house singing it often.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good word count so far.
Hey Heather! A thousand words is good.
ReplyDeleteI now have a sudden urge to dust off my ruby red slippers. ;-)
ReplyDelete1000 words?! On a weekend?? With so much football to watch? That's not too shabby. Wish I could say the same.
P.S. Thank you so much for your support on Goodreads today. I really appreciate it!!
Well that song is stuck in my head now. Even reading the rest of your post, it went to the tune of the song. If I only had a brain, I could shut it off :)
ReplyDelete(Loved the post)
Tara - I think you are very courageous! Look what you've accomplished so far!
ReplyDeleteDonna - It is cute and I find it disturbing how often its in my head and I don't realize it.
Alex - Hey Alex! Thank you sir!
Liz - You have ruby red slippers? Awesome! Well, the Florida State game wasn't televised and then on Sunday both the Giants and Jets looked terrible so I had some time! You are welcome. I'm excited to see what you came up with next!
Rhonda - Thank you. I'll be singing it all week until another annoying song comes and shoves that one out!
Thanks for coming by!

I know what you mean. I have been out of it a bit myself. Good luck with the writing.
ReplyDeleteMurees - Must be going around!
ReplyDeleteThank you.

That feeling comes and goes. I haven't thought about that song in years . It brings back memories of a safe childhood when I didn't have a worry. I was so creative then, without having to use my brain to pay bills, work or anything else- to just invent stories and build castles .
ReplyDeleteA thousand words means you are 1000 words closer to the end. Thanks for the blogfest info. They have been a life line for this newbie
I love singing that song and now it'll be stuck in my head for weeks! Thanks a lot Heather you ding-a-derry you!:)
ReplyDeleteMelissa - I did write so much better in high school then I do now. If only I had thought to be a writer back then! Thanks and welcome.
ReplyDeleteThe Desert Rocks - Sorry! Kind of!
