Topic: Onions, Garlic, and Fish

We're having some gray weather here in northern California, waa, waa you say but it has put me in a ghostly mood. I was raised in a haunted house where things were moved all the time and something would sit on the foot of your bed. Later as I was older only a few years ago a pencil rolled across the counter for no reason in front of me. So....I wrote this. I have to admit melody and chords are my down fall it seems I do lyrics. So be my guest and see what ya'll come up with.....marcalan


Onions, Garlic, and Fish              m.a. mcvicker  2002

Onions, Garlic, and Fish, adieu!
I don't know how to care for you.
Everywhere I go, you seem to follow me.
Greetings, I say, to all I can't see!

Doors fly open, pens move across the page.
It seems my house is an open stage.
Greetings, I say, to all I can't see!
Each one of you, mean alot to me.

Strange happenings, around us, sometimes we see.
I can tell you this, cause they've happened to me.
Be careful, my friends, of all you wish.
Or you may be living with Onions, Garlic, and Fish!

I thought ; If I had one idea,
and took it from beginning to end.
I would try another.

Re: Onions, Garlic, and Fish

Thanks for your comments. Yeah Doll I think I was refering to things that linger ie:spirits,smells,memories etc. Things you know when you enter a room that you don't see but instinctivley react to and the presence is as strong as those three items which I personaly love, mind you.
Daddycool I'll try that out Ive developed carpel tunnel so guitar for now is extremely frustrating for me after playing for 40 years I'm working on it....marcalan
