Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 19, 2023

well, what can I say… those who rule the world are already in bed.

It’s hard to rule with a sleep deficit.

Everybody wants to rule the world – Tears for Fears

If Aunty Acid ruled the world, the song that Tony Bennett popularized would have very different lyrics. The title for a musical play about her life might be “Pick Wicked.”

I don’t want to rule the world; I just have to keep it from ruling me.

Sorry, Aunty, but one of my buddies and I already decided WE should to rule the world. . .it took just about an hour’s conversation yesterday to fix everything!!!! ;)

Me too. I need the sleep.

Well Aunty, you must be Pinky then, because you are not the Brain.

In the mean time then we’ll leave it to Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHkNiF2jfRY

I have no desire to rule the world. I have enough to do now.

Good idea. You’ll need your strength…

Yeah, in your sleep.

No doubt, she goes alone

After all, gotta get ready for tomorrow night.

In his 1970 memoir, The Perfect Game, the late Tom Seaver recounted a conversation with his wife. He told her that over the next 15 years, he’d like to make enough money to own a baseball team. The next morning, they woke up at eight, and she turned to him and told him that, if he really wanted to make that much money, " . . . you’ve just got to start getting up at seven."

Not going to make that world-ruling goal, Aunty, if you’re not willing to put in the time and effort.

Sleep well.

and we’ll all be glad of the peace and quiet when you’re tucked in…
