Excuses, excuses.

Wow, I've been terrible at updating. But trust me, I have multiple good excuses. 

One: I have tons of work. Even more than usual.

Two: I do make time for myself, but it comes in different forms. First off, I've been writing a fantasy novel. Can you believe it? I certainly can't, but I have almost 11 pages in word now! This is where most of my free time goes.

Okay, so there were just two excuses, but technically, two is more than one, and therefore qualifies as "multiple" excuses.

Last week, I saw The Capitol Steps live. They were awesome. If you don't know who they are, look them up. They're a political satire troupe, and are astounding. They write songs mocking politicians to the tune of popular classic songs. For instance, I saw them perform "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Korea?" (to the tune of "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria, from The Sound of Music as well as "The Lie of the Tiger," and many others.

For this post, rather than giving you a haiku as usual, I have decided to share with you a song in their tradition that I have written.

First, you must know what it's based on. So get Old Time Rock and Roll stuck in your head before listening to this.

Now, imagine someone impersonating Glen Beck as the singer.


Just take your phone, get ready to call
I’ve got solutions for problems big and small
Buy whatever coinage you are told
I like that Gold Line collector’s gold.
If you want your problems to grow gray and old
Just call the number you see on the screen
You’ll have gold fit for a queen
I like that Gold Line collector’s gold

Still like that Gold Line collector’s gold
The kind of riches that sooth the soul
Antique coins are a sight to behold
With that Gold Line collector’s gold.
Don’t let the government take yours away
With FDR’s mandate they very well may
If you don’t want to lose all you’re sold
Start buying Gold Line Collector’s gold
Don’t you dare get those bullion, no!
Numismatic are the way to go
They’re mostly worthless, but you don’t know
So buy that Gold Line collector’s gold


Th-th-that's all folks! Until next time.
