But you’re hoping
there’ll be something bright
Where we are going

tone deaf, and singing

I love them all, especially the first one. (K)
Thank you. Sometimes the snippets speak and confuse me and other times, they just blurt out the truth.
Words can have their own ideas about what they want to say.
These are all excellent and I especially love seeing them as artworks and not just as words. The last one makes me laugh because I think that is how my students must feel about all of my singing.
Thank you. And as for the singing, the heck with what they think. I say, enjoy yourself!
Love the art work! And that last one made me laugh!!
Thank you. I think there is one of these people in every building. At least every place I ever worked.
