about

The chorus to this song was jotted sideways in one of my journals. It's a phrase that I wound up cutting and pasting from one gentleman to another. I think it works for most, though.

lyrics

Roses are Red
And violets are still blue
Sugar may be sweet,
But it rots your teeth
And I shouldn't date
Jerks like you
Jerks like you

Will you be my blanket?
And keep me warm
Will you be my lightning rod?
And save me from the storms
Will you be my wall?
Will you be my rock?
To keep me from screwing up

You can't be my blanket
Cause you're the cold
And you're the lightning that burns my soul
You can't be my rock
But you could be my wall
So I have something to jump off of

Roses are Red
and Violets are still blue
Sugar may be sweet
But it rots your teeth
And I shouldn't date
Shouldn't Date
Jerks like you.

about

Apis Malifera Seattle, Washington

Visiting many flowers and taking memories around with her like pollen; she returned to her original habitat and began to make "honey sweet" tunes out of all her pollen-thoughts.
Now residing in Seattle; she builds her hive song by song.
