i am sparticus: If You're Going To California

If You're Going To California

<<< Previous Entry: Hairdressers Part II | This Month's entries | Next Entry: Find Me A Job >>

Did you know I have three songs in my music collection that are called "California"? Add to that Led Zeppelin's "Going to California" and that's four songs all devoted to going to California. On top of that, I have a song by the Beach Boys called "California Girls", which while not about going to California as such, certainly provides a good reason to go there.

I say this all as some sort of introduction to the story of me booking tickets to go to San Francisco.

There is no middle or conclusion. Hooray for brevity!

Chess Club,
(There ain't no party like a CHESS CLUB PARTY!)
Gonna show you how,
(Everybody play chess at lunch!)

Finally it's Monday,

Gonna move my bishop just can't wait,
Gonna move a pawn get you in checkmate!

Move over Tim Rice, I'm betterer.

Actually Ben, I wrote it 7 years ago, one fateful lunchtime before we went to see Fevv for a bit of chessing.
