But my ever teener haid said go ahead, run,

On this old farm. Hay is good.
Caint say much about the company. Jackasses all over. [Oh, sorry Clem.]

B flat

Hear the strings weep.
Here, the timbre lilts
And sweeps you away.
Up, and then, to ease
Back down.
Let it go.
It’s not your fault.
Bob was half-right.
It takes a cello to cry.
Truth lives with strings.
So cry with me
As I cry for you;
Cry with you.
A lone cello calls;
A forgotten pianoforte answers.
Lento;
Out of step;
On time.
* Ped…
….ritenuto.

Dad?

Dad!
Yep.
DaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaD?!
Yep.
Am I pretty?
[Ruh-roh] Yep.
I’m mean ‘really?’
Uh, yep.
Come ON. Am I really pretty?
Let’s see…Yes, I would say the combination of
your bone structure and derma-musculo-skeletal symmetry
renders you quite not too unpleasant.
Dad!
Uh, yep.
Love you!
Love you more!
Love you more than most!
Love you most of all!
Oh, Dad!
Yep.
