If you really think about it

When you can take enough time

After everything’s said and done

When you      get      down to it

Nobody is ever perfect

I’m just a single man

Who      lives

All alone

Quietly

Mostly

But sometimes I just like to be able to get out of the house and enjoy myself.

And those      times, I often find I gravitate towards nights of               karaoke,

And then       I can meet up with friends, some friendly place                         where we

Can get          to indulge our guilty pleasures, along with other                       people

Who also       enjoy singing a song or two from a repertoire of           favourites.

Without          us ever becoming overly critical. Since it’s just a           hobby,

There is          no need to take it seriously. Although there’s                always

People           who seem to think they are the arbiters of what            others

Can do,          even though they either don’t sing themselves             or just

Believe           they are so much better, when the grim reality is           that they

Are in             reality tone deaf themselves and could not hold                       a tune

In a bucket! Get a life people. It’s not X-Factor.

We just want to get out of our respective homes

And have a bit of fun. There’s little enough of that

Around these days, so you need to get it where you

Can. I know it’s not                          everybody’s cup of

Tea, but so what?                            We’re not hurting

Anyone, and we’re                          doing our bit to keep

Pubs alive in the                              difficult economic

Times we find                                   ourselves in today.

It’s not even as                                 if there’s much

On telly these                                   days, just repeats,

Or dumb reality                                 shows with bimbo

Wannabees who                             crave celebrity for

Celebrity’s                                         sake, and

Have no                                             abilities or

Willingness                                       to put in any

Effort, over                                         and above

Getting                                               through

Whatever                                           mindless

Hoops they might need to                                      accomplish their futile

Goals, despite their obvious                                  lack of any form of talent

Whatsoever. OK now I think                                  I can declare rant over!
