Mr. Kennedy

Names are a powerful key to hidden emotions. 

I have noticed as I grow older and visit government, retail or  local restaurants, many look at my credit card or info and say something like, “thank you Mr. Kennedy”.

Or, “Here you go, Mr Kennedy”.


Very few ‘public servants’ call me by my first name these days.


It would be rare for someone to call me that when I was in my twenties. Too common in my seventies!  It just feels great for a young person to call me Michael, as a friend would.
I probably visit their establishments more (like Northwood Cider Company not to mention names) than the others if you are listening………

I always say, “it is the simple things in life that are the most important”.

It’s a hand grenade of high frequencies
Placed right between your eyes.
Easy to guess now where it came from;
Years of rock and roll caught you by surprise.

So much harder just to sit and talk these days
In a thin blue funk of purple haze.
Forcing the rhyme within tired rhythms
Simple technologies each a new craze.

You’re in it. You’re on it.
But can’t admit that you want it.
You buy it. You waste it.
Much more than a phase. It’s the New Craze.

It used to take talent and a lot of hours
People loved you for who you are.
Now it’s the beautiful, the extreme
Making a grab for your last dollar.

You need a law degree, and some Marketing
Even web design or sound engineer.
Craft miraculous songs but it won’t matter
Without looks and cash there is no career.

You’re in it. You’re on it.
But can’t admit that you want it.
You buy it. You waste it.
It’s just the New Craze.
