Mower Concerts
There is something cleansing about belting out a tune, even if it’s not “in” tune. We all like to sing but like me and especially my sister, some of us shouldn’t sing. It could be considered cruel and unusual torture to have to listen to me sing, so I sing on the inside. Sure when no one’s around a tune or two will escape me then I think of the neighbours and suck it back in. It’s for the good of mankind that I restrain myself. However I have discovered that the roar of a lawn mower will drown out my voice just nicely. Just yesterday while mowing my sister’s lawn I found myself singing a Frank Sinatra number “I did it my way” then I moved on to a Nick Cave song “people just ain’t no good.” I enjoyed myself and no ears started bleeding in the process. So if you ever see me out mowing don’t even slow down to wave, just keep driving. I may have to stop the mower and If you are unlucky enough to catch me in mid concert you may need therapy for years to come!

Aha! So hearing you on that one! I am compared to a cat on a manifold ….or something along those lines! When I have kids will I be able to sing them lullabies or instead of sweet dreams will this give them nightmares and they will so not know how to sing at all if there is even a smidgen of a chance of any singing abilities?!?!?!??!
I’ll buy you a babies lullaby cd… we can’t have you torture those future babies of yours!
I don’t know what you mean…my voice is like the sweet sound of an angel. No! not one dying either.
Angel of Death maybe!
Is that why the birds fall out of the sky when I hit the high notes?
