Poetry Friday: The Word is I/EYE/AYE

I.

Thassit.

Or Eye.

Or Aye.

That's the Poetry Friday Word for the Day. Feel free to use it in your blog post today, in whatever form snaps a wet terry towel at your bare butt...poem, story, photo, recipe for peanut butter fudge....

My head is being crushed by the invisible fingers of Stress, so I must defer to song lyrics. Have a good weekend, y'all!


"I Can't Get Next To You" (The Temptations)

I
Can turn a gray sky blue.
I can make it rain, whenever I wanted to.Oh, I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand.
I can make a ship sail, uh, on dry land.
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue. 'Cause I can't get next to you.

I can't get next to you, babe. (Next to you)
I can't get next to you. (I just can't get next you)
I can't get next to you, babe.
I can't get next to you.

I
Can fly like a bird in the sky.
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy. Oh, I
I can turn a river into a raging fire.
I can live forever if I so desired.
Unimportant are all the things I can do. 'Cause I can't get next to you.

I can't get next to you, babe. (No matter what I do)
I can't get next to you.Uh-ya

Ooo-OooOoo-Ooo
Chica boom, chica boom
Chica boom, boom, boom

I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can.I
I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand.Oh, I
I can change anything from old to new.
The things I want to do the most, I'm unable to do.
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess.
'Cause girl you're the key to my happiness.
And I
Can't get next to you.

Girl, you're blowing my mind 'cause I can't get...(Next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying? I can't get... (Next to you)
Girl, it's you that I need. I gotta get...(Next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying? I can't get... (Next to you)
I, I, I, I... I can't get...(Next to you)
I, I, I, I... I can't get...(Next to you)
Girl, you're blowing my mind...
