Observations From An Uneventful Day

If you ever find yourself in the situation where you want to make your life sound more interesting and eventful, it helps to realize that you can turn anything into a ballad by interspersing your description of events with a repeating chorus of nonsense syllables.
F'r instance:
I baked my love a cake tonight,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
The batter didn't come out right,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.
I added too much butterscotch,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
The result was nearly a total botch,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.
It baked up fine, all lovely and gold,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
But I left it to sit in the pan until cold,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.
The chips had stuck in a gluey mess,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
On the bottom of the pan, to my distress,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.
So remember when baking a golden cake,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
Butterscotch chips are a big mistake,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.
Much better and more eventful than just actually saying what you're thinking.....
