Chain of Fools

Aretha Franklin

Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools

Every chain has got a weak link
I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength
You told me to leave you alone
My father said come on home
My doctor said take it easy
Whole bunch of lovin is much too strong
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain of fools

One of these mornings the chain is gonna break
But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools

Wednesday

neighbors

think i have mentioned my retired neighbor and his habit of getting up at 6am and mowing his yard.
this was when i worked nights and slept days ... so it was a tad annoying until i got used to the racket.
well .. .. now that i am home i can see just how obsessed he is with it.
the guy mows his yard every other day.

i mean TN does have some fine grass growing weather. but dang.

so last month my other neighbor, to the right of me? he retires. this is the neighbor that thinks as long as he mows a side section of my yard. he can claim it as his. i just laugh.
anyway, he has a ride on mower and his yard is smaller than mine. ^!^

so they take turns. every day one of them is mowing.

i wish they would find something else to do.
