Hi and welcome to the Attic, I'm Frankenberry of said Blog Title and I write of just my everyday here, sometimes funny, sometimes heartfelt, sometimes angry, sometimes funny again because, well, who don't like funny, thoughts on getting older and sometimes stuff that's just kinda shit. I pen and sing the occasional parody tune and other songs, sometimes I even get a little bit poetic or short story-etic or something like that. If you're joining me here I thank you, but just mind your head and feet and keep an eye out for my little Bella and Cricket The Blind as well as the memories of Raspberry (Razzy), Mimi the Quirky, of Blink The Lil' Kit, Grayson the Mighty, Shoes the Big Orange, Shana-Girl, Benny Good Man Benny Brown, Merlin & Bob. Wouldn't want you step on them or anything … 'cause then I might just have to throw you down the stairs … damned humans.
So a meme from a friend of mine, same guy who inspired my Oopma Loompa tune from a few months ago, Damn you Drew and your meme inspirations!!! Something for the season. Fucking scary rabbits.
Hey Spirit Store guy, how are ya? Happy season right? Yeah thanks, all good here … what I’m looking for is something in a sorta homicidal vein for my kid … I know huh? They grow up so fast and want to kill you so quickly and in so many different ways, well not too quickly, they wanna see the pain and the anguish but I thought I’d stop in here before I go down in the basement and scrounge around grandma’s old things, though I should move her … them … her things … up to the attic, it can get a little damp down there and that tends to smell. Much better in a dry air.
Oh, great thanks … No, airline attendant isn’t quite what I was looking for, but wait, does it come with a concealed knife or a bomb? No? Ok … Oh really? Peppermint Patty? Is it pointy? Ya know, with a stick? Peppermint Pointy Patty? No? It’s just that her friends can be pretty particular about pointy sticks that’s all … I know, she’s at that difficult age right? What? You too? (laughs) kids huh? Really? Fairy princess? It’s a good choice, I’m sure she’ll be the cutest of hit at the cul-de-sac, well, until she gets to old man Johnson’s place, never turn left by the way. What? Oh nothing, just remembering last year though the cops say it’s still on ongoing investigation so there is that.
Well listen, I appreciate the time, forgive me for wasting yours … what? Something in the back? It’s pointy? Oh I knew I liked you from the get go, Gabriel is it? Sorry, excuse my stare, the name tags can be a bit difficult for me these days and I left my hourglass … glasses in the car.
Since my move up the Albany way here (Schenectady) back in August, I’ve been a pretty happy fella. I get to actually see my Sis on a daily basis which is huge as when it comes to the best of peoples and best of friends you can’t top my Sis, she is a sanity for me when sanity can seem to be a bit elusive, not just phone calls from Lilly when I was first allowed the 21st century and how cool phone calls from behind the wheel could be …
“You’re calling me from your car again aren’t you?”
“Yep”
“Do you have anything relevant or pressing to talk to me about?”
“Nope”
“Hanging up now … and eyes on the road by the way brother”
“Gotcha”
… and I get to hang with my nephews for conversations at the dining room table or at the living room couch I would never have had otherwise, however briefly, and wonder of how cool they is and remembrances of when I was also 18 or 24 years old and was my own cool “is” ssszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzx (hold on … cat … zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz tired too girlfriend, but not right now kid, working here Cricket) but there is one thing I miss from my before here days. My production studio on a Friday night and working new lyrics and new sings to whatever my latest song parody might be.
Now, not that I couldn’t still do my studio thing but that was always just a half hour home. It’s two hours now, and when the end of a Friday comes it’s, well, a Friday and I just end up being too tired to spend an extra hour or so singin’ and editin’ and then add that commute, so I’ve been searching my older tunes as tired should still be no excuse for points not made, though I ookkkkkkkkkknjm (sorry, cat again) …
… though I have a lot of them, a lot of tunes, points, songs, a shitload actually, to still keep up with as things always need be said, even ones already spoke and sung, my parodies, as they are important to me, and find those that are still somewhat relevant, things not overly dated, though Trump is kind of easy that way. He hasn’t changed. He is still a word salad doom and gloom just worse, we’re in the crapper, watch them there immigrants, will steal your silver from right out under your nose, or your job, or your pets and here’s a bunch of made up shit to back that up, no one can save you from imagined despair like me yadda yadda yadda. It’s been on spin for four years and repeated by his blue eyed snake sidekick along with cries of steal and refusals to admit he lost and unwarranted white grievance and promised allusions to future times of freedom and liberty that only he can provide though he and Vance’s definition of liberty is skewed authoritarian and is decidedly not free, Un-American, no matter what Elon or Leon and all his money might say.
So back from August of ’22 and one that can still stand, no time old sensitive or dated.
Like I said, shit hasn’t changed.
To the Mamas and the Poppas “California Dreamin’”

Autocratic Dreamin’
Democracy’s in straits (Democracy’s in straits)
Getting dire by the day (dire by the day)
New Reich says it’s ok (practically they say)
To let it fade away (let it fade away)
Embracing a big lie’s how (embracing a big lie)
Help usher in a new way (usher in a new way)

Autocratic dreamin’ (autocratic dreamin’)
On such a darkened day

They stepped off of the ledge
All willing still offer pledge
Into abyss of endless lies (and lustful power cries)
They almost seem to pray (almost seem to pray)
To a god of broken things now (god of broken things)
Broken with real bad intent (and where violence sings)
Autocratic dreamin’ (autocratic dreamin’)
On such a darkened day
… break
All the truth is down (all the truth is down)
To be changed by the day (change it by the day)
Even history (even history)
Won’t stand in the way (won’t stand in the way)
Rewrite it backwards forwards (rewrite it forwards backwards)
To fit just what he might say (fit just what he might say)
