199
Reading yesterday’s opening phrase prompted a silly song … with apologies to Marlene.
…can’t help it…
falling asleep again
never wanted to
what am I to do
can’t help it
thoughts flutter round me
like moths around a flame
whispering my name
can’t help it
past comes to haunt me
future’s finger cues
yearning stirs the passions
can’t help it
thoughts go their own way
never give a toss
think that they’re the boss
can’t help it
falling asleep again
never wanted to
no-thing here to do
can’t help IT!

No worries dearest L – it’s a 2003 time-capsule, remember!
I’m loving revisiting these notes. Who was that woman?
And who is this one?
