Hello again Steem-mates, I've been encouraged by the success of Blockchain Blues to finish writing another one. And here it is, my entry for this week's Open Mic, kindly hosted by @luzcypher and sponsored by @pfunk (big thanks for the bonus STEEM last week even though I didn't win on votes!)
This song is about the persistence of digital media and is dedicated to anyone who might have once sent a picture to a friend or lover and then had reason to perhaps wish they hadn't...
I'm obliged to add that this is a work of imagination and any similarity between characters in the song and any person, living or dead is entirely (I say ENTIRELY!) coincidental.
Please vote and comment twice! (no, for real!) not only at the bottom of this post but also on my comment on the competition page - that's two places to vote please, and do encourage your friends to listen and vote too - thank you very much.
Good luck and well done to everyone who gets themselves together enough to enter!
Words:
I'm Keeping My Pictures Of You Words & Music by Lloyd Davis
I'm keeping my pictures of you
To smile at when I'm feeling blue
The news of our break-up
Smudged both of our make-up
But we had a chuckle or two
I'm keeping my pictures of you
Here's that time you passed out on the loo
And the night that I made yer
Dress up as Darth Vader
I'm keeping my pictures of you
I'm keeping my pictures of you
Your face, when the donkey came too
And the look in your eyes
Is that glee or surprise?
I'm keeping that picture of you.
I'm keeping my pictures of you
Though I might get some cash for a few
Your face in this piccy
Is hot wet and sticky
That might raise a bitcoin or two
I'm keeping my pictures of you
And I trust that you're doing so too
For the end of this tale
Is mutual blackmail
I'm keeping my pictures of you
(for the court case)
I'm keeping my pictures of you
And if you want some more ukulele from me, you can get my album from Bandcamp.com
