Red or Ick?

Did you know that even Muslims, Buddhists and Jews celebrate Saint Valentines Day? That is a rhetorical question folks, requires no answer, draw your own conclusions.

In another forum Renee commented, “Can anything be said around here without you making a song out of it!” (sic) There really should be a question mark there except that Renee was not asking but making an emphatic statement. All of you grammarniks will understand. Sometimes you’ve just got to throw the rules out of the window to get your point across.

I hope I never get to the point where the things I see and hear don’t resonate inside and spark some kind of creative bonfire. Burn baby, burn! The title of the blog is Invasive Maneuvers and at least this week deals with things other than surgery like what goes on inside my head. Heck, Renee hasn’t even rescheduled her Cleveland Clinic appointment. The winter of discontent for many is a period of healing for others. Go figure!

Back to the topic, can anything be said around here without you making a song out of it? Heck no! And I’m proud of that. But what I’m not proud of is so far, as far as that line goes, I’ve got nothing. There’s a song in there somewhere but I haven’t found it yet. Renee throws down the challenge gauntlet and I freeze up. Well sort of …

Rhetorical, rhetorical, rhetorical, rhetorical
The answer is no but you didn’t ask the question
You were stating, stating, stating the historical
And I’m just confirming the lesson

Wow, that’s pretty bad, not Valentine’s Day greeting card bad, but bad nonetheless. So there’s your homework for the weekend folks. Write your honey your own song or at least come up with something original to celebrate Lovers Leap Day. Don’t do the tired old thing like chocolates or Hallmark, originality scores points. But be sure to be judicious in your use of romantic rhetoric.
