Ta Dida Da of a Time Long Past
June 14, 2011
Ta dida da
How I wish it was still so
Ta dida da
Why'd you ever have to go?
Ta dida da
I don't really care anymore
Ta dida da
The world's bigger than we think
Ta dida da
Those are now the years of yester-lore
Ta dida da
Ta dida da
Met you at the roller rink
That world's over
This one begins
All without you.

I like it. It's like something someone would just be sort of humming under their breath. It's an extraordinarily ordinary poem, and I think that lends it power.
Alrite I surrender. I supose next thing you'll be telling me I don't know anything. Acutualy, I got my imformation about the word from my Mother, who I amsumed new what she was talking about. I connfess I don't know wether you guys are trying to nice, or kill me by degrese. But either way,I've takin kindly to kindness, and I don't die.

It's a real word. 'Snippety' and some of it's synonyms 'arrant, assuming, assumptive, audacious, barefaced, blatant, bold, boldfaced, brash'
"sharp or curt, especially in a supercilious or haughty way; impertinent."
"scrappy or fragmentary."
OK, OK, I didn't mean to be spipitty. I just wanted you to know. I would never have said anything in the first place if I had realy understood the situation. It's just that it really iritates me when I see people made fun of. And I thought that is what you were doing. This just reminds me I supose that my judgment is falable, and somtimes I forget.

I like to ask a lot of questions, I like trying to get to the bottom of things, I like to let the other person explain before I make assumptions or judgments. But people generally get all defensive when questioned, I think that shows a degredation of conversation, you know?

I don't think so. That's an interesting idea, though.
I know it's not really any good, I just wanted to share it and the story behind it.
