Carnival

[Carnival]

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of no great taste

Taking life as it comes along

Contemplating love and faith

Just writing down my little words

About laughter, loss and pain

Trying to make sense from

Simple statements of my fate

Pleased to meet you

Norman is my name

Hope to know you well

As we play this music game

I stuck around the music scene

'Till I saw it was a time for a change

Went to school and I learned the rules

Graduated proud and vein

My business tanked

Lost my market rank

While corruption raged

And production stank

Pleased to meet you

Norman is my name

Hope to know you well

As we play this music game

...the rest isn't exactly history, as are the original song lyrics to this tune. But here I am, looking at the music scene again, trying to turn my relationship with words into actual song lyrics to collaborate with other songwiters, hopefully as a profession, and seeking help anywhere I can find it.

And I go by Norm, not Norman, but rythm and meter, rhythm and meter...

WELL DONE

WELL DONE

Rhetorical question..."What is the sound of two beers clapping"

[typo]

nicely done norm

the answer is somewhere between a clunk and a clink... but hopefully not a crash or a splash.

Welcome Norm.

Hi Norm

Nice intro. I feel sympathy for you already.

Have a good look around. Take your shoes off.

Nice lyrics! But you left out whether your married or have kids and your blood type and favorite breakfast cereal...;>)

Other than that, a helluva intro!

Hi Jimi,

I'm 52, married, to a woman, have two incredibly talented teenagers.

I eat eggs for breakfast, or sometimes those vegetarian 'sausage' patties that are supposed to make you live longer. I've heard it can take 25 years to break into songwriting, so I need all the extra time I can get. I recommend them topped with mango salsa.

Blood type is Oh-No!

Did I leave anything out?
