Amazing what a little inspiration can do for you. I managed to write the majority of these lyrics in about 30 minutes. I figure why not. I’ve written a couple poems so I’ll try my hands at writing a song. I was feeling very inspired and the creative juices were just flowing.

The following is a tribute to Max- the family dog. He lived for about 17 years. I had to put him to sleep today because he was in so much pain.
