NIGHT OWL NOTES

BEING AWAKE LONG AFTER NIGHTFALL

HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS

IT IS ALWAYS CONSIDERABLY BETTER

WHEN YOU KNOW THERE IS CAKE IN THE KITCHEN

OR PIZZA IN THE FRIDGE

BUT AS MY BRAIN WOULD HAVE IT,

 IT IS ALSO A TIME WHEN QUITE OFTEN DELIRIOUS NOTES COME ABOUT

THESE ARE JUST A FEW

DEAR FRIEND

 I DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, 

BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I DO IT'S TOO LATE

AND THAT'S WHY I LOVE HAVING YOU AROUND,

BECAUSE YOU EITHER FILL ME IN, OR SIMPLY REAFFIRM
THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN HAVING NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON

DEAR FRIEND

IF I HAD THE MONEY,

WHENEVER YOU WERE SAD,
I WOULD HIRE A SUPER FUNKY JAZZ BAND

TO PLAY BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU WALKED.

AND IF THAT DIDN'T CHEER YOU UP, 

AT LEAST YOU'D LOOK REALLY COOL

DEAR FRIEND

I LOVE BEING ON YOUR TEAM FOR GUESSING GAMES
BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR OWN CODE

WHERE I WILL SAY

"THE OPPOSITE OF BLUE:

AND YOU'LL SAY "PENGUIN"

AND THEN WE'LL LAUGH BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT WAS

DEAR FRIEND

IT'S COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT IF I EVER GET INTO TROUBLE

YOU'LL BE THERE FOR ME.

MOSTLY BECAUSE YOU WERE PROBABLY INVOLVED

DEAR FRIEND

I'M GLAD TO KNOW SOMEONE WHO TRULY UNDERSTANDS

MY IRRATIONAL EXCITEMENT OVER CERTAIN THINGS
