Frankenberry's Attic

Full bore Cricket the Blind at around her usual 6am the other morning after hopping down off the bed from her comfy spot and heading to the office. Clocking in she grabs her clipboard and a pencil: 1. Loudly scratch the large flat cat scratcher – CHECK. 2. Messily slap the shit out of the… Continue reading

Alright. I’ve done this before with “We Let Billy Drive the Car”, my little thing about a heist gone awry from September of 2020, so I thought I’d give it another whirl. Find an instrumental at my work production music site that I like and see if I can write something to it, the only… Continue reading

Ok, another musical editorial, I like it, it’s got things to say, my singing doesn’t make dogs cry (at least I don’t think so and me doing any experimenting to try and prove such would probably come off as weird and possibly even cruel) and I worked “askance” into the lyrics so it has that… Continue reading

Washed BB for only the second time in five years earlier this week. Dad used to say at his reluctance of car washes that it was only the dirt that was holding things together so I’ve gone with that. Gospel. He also just didn’t want to spend the money. Gospel twice. Said to one of… Continue reading

It’s cold. I hate cold. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. It’s a thing that makes me question every year where I live. Though it’s not a real cold, comparatively speaking, not a place where you could REALLY question where you live, places in videos that make you put on an extra layer or… Continue reading

And a turned year’s happy see clocks Grab hats Drum noises Noise drummers Call strummers Of songs To add their way And might a firework’s snap’s clap Too Join the play But all the clatter is a matter Of others Zzz’s a cat In a lap Who knows Just Where Turned Time Is At Knows… Continue reading

Well, with all the end of year’s lists, retrospectives, the requisite long list quickie obituaries of people lost in 2021, which, if it were an honest list and not just the usual of passed celebrities, as if they are the only ones worth noting, would be way too massive an endeavor and just point out… Continue reading
