"A Better Place To Be"  by Harry Chapin It was an early morning bar room, And the place just opened up. And the little man come in so fast and Started at his cup. And the broad who served the whisky She was a big old friendly girl. And she tried to fight her empty nights By smilin’ at the world. And she said     "Hey Bub, It’s been awhile      Since you been around.      Where the hell you been hidin’ ?      And why you look so down ?" But the little man just sat there like he’d never heard a sound. The waitress she gave out with a cough, And acting not the least put off, She spoke once again. She said,      "I don’t want to bother you,      Consider it’s understood.      I know I’m not no beauty queen,      But I sure can listen good." And the little man took his drink in his hand And he raised it to his lips. He took a couple of sips. And he told the waitress this story….     "I am the midnight watchman      down at Miller’s Tool and Die.      And I watch the metal rusting,      and I watch the time go by.      A week ago at the diner      I stopped to get a bite.      And this here lovely lady      she sat two seats from my right.      And Lord, Lord, Lord she was alright.      Oh she was so damned beautiful      that she’d warm a winter’s frost.      But she was long past lonely,      and well nigh unto lost.      Now I’m not much of a mover,      or a pick-em-up easy guy,      But I decided to glide on over,      and give her one good try.      And Lord, Lord, Lord she was worth a try.      Tongued-tied like a school boy,       I stammered out some words.      But it did not really matter much,      ’cause I don’t think she heard.      She just looked clear on through me      to a space back in my head.      And it shamed me into silence,      as quietly she said…         ‘If you want me to come with you,          then that’s all right with me.         Cause I know I’m going nowhere,          and anywhere’s          a better place to be.         Anywhere’s a better place to be…’ …      I drove her to my boarding house,      and I took her up to my room.      And I went to turn on the only light      to brighten up the gloom.      But she said,         ‘Please leave the light off,         Oh I don’t mind the dark.’     And as her clothes all tumbled ’round her,     I could hear my heart…     The moonlight shown upon her     as she lay back in my bed.     It was the kind of scene I only had     imagined in my head.     I just could not believe it,     to think that she was real.     And as I tried to tell her she said         ‘Shhh.. I know just how you feel…         And if you want to come here with me,         then that’s all right with me.         ‘Cause I’ve been oh so lonely,         lovin’ someone is a better way to be.         anywhere’s a better way to be…’ …      Well the morning come so swiftly      but I held her in my arms.      But she slept like a baby,      snug and safe from harm.      I did not want to share her      with the world or break the mood,      So before she woke I went out      and brought us both some food…      I came back with my paper bag…      to find out she was gone…      She’d left a six word letter saying…          ’It’s time that I moved on.’… "      Well the waitress took a bar rag,      and she wiped it across her eyes.      And as she spoke her voice came out      as something like a sigh.      She said         "I wish that I was beautiful,          or that you were halfway blind.          And I wish I weren’t so dog-gone fat,          I wish that you were mine.         And I wish that you’d come with me,          when I leave for home.          For we both know all about loneliness,          and livin’ all alone…"      And the little man…      Looked at the empty glass in his hand…      And he smiled a crooked grin,      He said,         " I guess I’m out of gin.           And know we both have been…           so lonely….           So if you want me to come with you,           then that’s all right with me.      Cause I know I’m goin’ nowhere                 and anywhere’s                        a better place to be." ~ Harry Chapin ~

for there is not much funny when those shiney badges collide as we are not always smiling when the truth is what we hide but then the truth may be the truth is not found on this life’s ride or truth is just what brings you peace that can not be denied the deepest saddest bluest woe might make us feel our heart has died but sometimes when no one’s looking smiles peek out from inside… for that’s where the smiles hide honest love, ric

But do you know Ollie, that when you zap a smiley, each little fragment, represented above by your asterisks, will split into tiny granules and eventually will turn into something far worse than a smiley, it will become a big cheesy ozone layer polluting grin. If all the world was smiling (smile) then the world would be in a better place   for there would be more fun and laughter (hugs!) and a smile on every wiseguys face!  (laugh grin smile hug!!!) But if all the world was miserable (bleuurgh) well that would be funny too (shrug) there wouldn’t be any need for work or indie bands because there’d be nowt to do! (poohoo) Well personally I always wear my little yellow badge with pride (she lied)

Response:

Look at this smiley:       ;-) One of its eyes is clearly deformed. It is therefore doing it a kindness to use it as a test target for an OTSSSM MKI.                                         *                 *                                        *                                                *  *         * ====================*ZAP!***       *         *                     *                          *    *                                 *                            *      *                                                 * It’s in a better place now.
