An Ode to Egypt

Leavin' on a Jet Plane (yeah, it's to the tune you think it is)

My bags aren't packed
But I'm ready to go I'm standin' here right by the door
I won't hate to take the bowab from his shai
But the adhan is blarin'
Its early morn
The taxis waitin'
He's blowin his horn
Already I'm so trunky

I could die

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll change for me

Don't hold me, oh, you'll never let me go

cause I'm leavin on a jet plane

I know I won't be back again
Oh babe, I won't hate to go

Theres so many times you've let me down

So many times I've waited around
For the services that you never bring.

Ev'ry place I go, I won't think of you
Ev'ry song I sing, I won't sing for you

If I come back, well, I think I may just scream.

Chorus again

So yeah, that's as far as I got. No, it's not the whole song, but it's enough. I thought of it in the shower (great ideas hang out there) and intended to post this ode quite a while ago, but just couldn't seem to finish it. There. Here's another. In the words of Kelly Clarkson,

"Hey Egypt! My life (my life) won't suck (won't suck) without YOU!"

Alright, this hasn't been the most coherent or positive of posts, but part of me had to say it!


my life would suck without you full virsion - kelly clarkson


Leaving On A Jet Plane - John Denver

Chad and I had a good dance to Kelly's song. Since he mostly just jumps up and down to dance this tune worked out nicely.

And sometimes you just have to let the negativity out and it feels oh so much better.
