don't forget to wash your hands

Do not forget to wash your hands

It puts us all in danger

You will be given reprimands

And scowling looks from strangers.

If you don't have a sink, it's wise

To do your best to sanitize…

Do not forget to wash your hands.

And mind your manners, lest illness overtake the land,

And don't forget to wash your hands!

Make proper use of PPE

To stave away diseases

Take off your gloves when you go pee

Put masks on for your sneezes!

And though you're lonely and upset

Don't buy any mosquito nets…

Make proper use of gloves and masks.

And mind your manners…

Do not go out into the street

Unless you have good reason

Except for meds or food to eat

Just wait until next season.

If seven hundred folks get sick

You'd be known as a giant prick…

Do not go out into the street.

the web-owl

TTTO: the were-owl, by SJ Tucker
Look long enough into the posts on any website:
All the pictures look alike.
They all highlight joy one way or another,
Ever chasing likes.
Everyone longs for attention, for the spotlight
Lovers more than most at times.
You've sought for joy where few have ever found it,
Captured still in shining smiles.
User, log in and stay a while.
Take care what you find
when you're scrolling down
On your Android at night
And who, who, who is it there reflected in the darkened screen
And how, how, how can you make
The pictures show the proper image,
So it's right for who you are within?
I've heard this said: only fools will chase approval
From some strangers who don't care.
Foolish the heart that hangs on interactions
With the posts it shares.

One moment it's bliss, then despair comes in the next one –
You've been in this place before.
Neurotransmitters that drown your better reason
Leave you wanting so much more.
You're only a product inside some store.
And who, who, who is it, scared to log off, miss a single post?
And how, how, how can you find
Any peace of mind inside this onslaught,
Know you're keeping up – but at what cost?

shifting netscapes, dying memes:
media's never what it seems.
what is this upon the screen?
highlights, not behind the scenes.

who, who, who is it dares to look beyond and call their bluff?
and how, how, how can you learn
not to hope for airbrushed false perfection,
be the you you are, and that's enough

Still I Call

Recording

TTTO "The Sparrow" by Beth Kinderman

Can you remind me what purpose are we serving?
I’m not sure I know the difference anymore.
Is it the road that I had struggled not to travel
Or the voice that called me onwards to explore?

I had a plan: how to save the world from ending
I thought I knew it all and understood
But I’m just a voice reading someone else’s statement
And naught I ever did did any good

Oh hear my cry,
Hear my terror and elation
Hear the words wrought to explain what can have no explanation
The Eye of the watcher,
We suffer and it sees it all –
But still I call, still I call, still I call…

We sought for knowledge and worked to meet the challenge
To keep safe the existence of mankind
We marched ahead, though we knew not what was happening:
We left our own humanity behind

There was no help to defeat what we were facing:
Atrocities beyond the know of man
Now that we know how this story will be ending
Perhaps we should have stopped when we began.

Oh hear my cry,
Hear my terror and elation
Hear the words wrought to explain what can have no explanation
The Eye of the watcher,
We suffer and it sees it all –
But still I call, still I call, still I call…

They took away one more person that I cared for
As though he was some nothing to discard
I matched my strength with the forces of the Lonely
Went in knowingly and came back with small and scarred

There is no hope in terror of the Beings,
Just the horror of the new world they will make
So I must ask: could I kept it all from happening,
If I just had the common sense to break?

Come now, Eye,
Flesh, Corruption, Desolation,
All who know and do not understand –
We’re lost in translation.
Their grasp on the world holds,
They’re coming and we’ve lost it all
But still I call, still I call, still I call…

Archival Worker Song

TTTO: Great Big Sea’s version of Process Man

Recording

Oh, please go, just go,
He’ll bind your very soul
And every day you’re in this place, you’re nearer eaten whole.
Won’t you go?

Well an Archivist am I, and you cannot tell me lies,
Despite my will I’m serving still the foul whims of the Eye
By the scars he’s left upon me and the grey that’s in my hair,
I promise you, all that you do will not escape its stare.

Oh, please go, just go,…

I’ve been held by a mannequin until my spirit broke,
I've crawled beneath creation to the very heart of Choke.
I’ve had worms inside my every limb, near lost my hand to burns;
Amidst the wrath, he sits and laughs. It makes my stomach turn.

Oh, please go, just go,…

It seems like one more office job. I really wish it was.
Instead he makes us give our lives to some unholy cause.
Please learn from our mistakes. There is no way to quit this crew.
For every day you take his pay, he’ll take what’s left of you.

Oh, please go, just go,…

Biscuits in the Jar

Biscuits in the Jar

TTTO Whiskey in the Jar (Trad.)
One can call this the G-rated version of the original song.

One fine sunday morning just as I was waking
Mom was in the kitchen and I smelled that she was baking
She was making cookies, and I was getting hungry
So I waited until mother had to go into the pantry

I can't eat any more cookie dough…
Wait till your dad comes home! X 2
There's biscuits in the jar.

Bigger on the Inside

Bigger on the Inside
Tune: "Human On the Inside", by The Pretenders

I play a good game, a better game than you
My skin a little cold, and my demeanor cool
I took up your hand, and you were so young
But I had you fooled enough to come along

If Time was a war, then no one has won
my ship and I are here and my people are gone
Now the damage is done

Bin There, Dun That, With Daleks

Bin There, Dun That, With Daleks
Tune: "Bin There, Dun That" by Echo's Children

Something whispered in the darkness, and I peeked in quick and dumb
And I reckon I'd be dead now if the Doctor hadn't come
Well he grabbed my hand and – "RUN!" – and we went rushing for the door
I don't think I'm gonna take more look in drugstore basement floors

'Cause I bin there, dun that, learned what I should know
Fought the baddies, saved the planet, got the trauma I can show
Yes I bin there, dun that, learned to recognize
When it's gonna get fantastic by the madness in his eyes

Brothers in Arms

Brothers in Arms

Based on Brothers in Arms by the Dire Straits

This green and blue planet
Is a home now for me,
But my home is another
And always will be.
My race would enslave you,
Your cities and your farms,
But I'm proud to call you
My brothers in arms.
