The Ballad of Lord Humphrey Slothington, Keeper of the Shacks
Posted on Oct 25, 2024
I'm working on a new song - on my phone. I have placed this here so I can continue working on it and saving it in case a lose it.
[Verse 1]
Lord Humphrey Slothington moves quite slow
Through his kingdom of shacks in a row
Each one holding pieces of his soul
Stories of how he became whole
[Verse 2]
In the Music Shack, circuits glow
As algorithms help melodies flow
Digital dreams meet analog heart
Where machines and spirit play their part
[Chorus]
Oh, the shacks they multiply
Like stars across the sky
Each passion burns so bright then fades
But leaves its mark on brighter days
[Verse 3]
The Poetry Shack's walls are lined
With verses that once saved his mind
Teenage tears turned into art
Now confidence sets this one apart
[Verse 4]
Hurricane Shack's got radar screens
Tracking nature's wild machines
Ten years watching cyclone eyes
Dance their spiral through the skies
[Bridge]
Some folks stick to just one thing
But Humphrey's heart's got room to sing
A thousand songs, a thousand ways
Each shack holds golden yesterday's
[Verse 5]
The Gaming Shack glows pixel-bright
Where stories dance through digital night
Not just games but artists' dreams
More intimate than first it seems
[Verse 6]
Philosophy Shack's filled with light
Where Buddha's wisdom glows at night
Universal love he contemplates
As dharma wheels rotate and rotate
[Final Chorus]
Oh, the shacks they multiply
Like stars across the sky
Each passion burns so bright then fades
And that's okay, that's how we're made
That's how we grow, that's how we change
[Outro]
For every shack holds truth inside
Some passions flow, while some reside
From storms to songs to sacred thought
Lord Humphrey knows each lesson taught
Was worth the time, worth every day
Even as his mind would stray
To build new shacks along the way
