If you are going to write songs, write for performance--

Write songs to sing when you perform at the sing a round--

Write something for Aunt Hilda's Wedding--

Write an Elegy, then sing it in a Country Churchyard--

Write a headbanging song for Myrtle's young Ned to sing on the occasion of his parole--

Write a song protesting embalming practices then sing it at a wake-


Open your mouth and sing, then edit heavily--then sing again--
