Why can't you stay?
Why can't you keep me from being alone?
Why can't you be the one to take me home?
I shouldn't be asking you
Why can't he stay?
Why can't he be the one?
I know You know why
and I don't need to know
but I feel so much
He pulls me every waking moment
Even in my sleep
We share a bond so deep
We look like each other's to keep
But You knew this would happen
You knew it would be steep
And I would keep climbing

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
