I’ll Try Crudité*

*Inspired by the 20261008 lunchtime [auction] at McKendree Church when more than one [job] was on the table including, but not limited to, my laptop (which seemingly is required for the elimination of my website as hack attempts have been deemed too risky); after hearing Ms. X#1, Ms. X#2 & Chris [celebrating] about how they “added some sugar … and some vinegar“. Nina Simone tune selected (versus others that could have been easily shortlisted from The Beach Boys’ portfolio).

Original lyrics

I want a little sugar
In my bowl
I want a little sweetness
Down in my soul
I could stand some lovin’
Oh, so bad
I feel so funny, I feel so sad

I want a little steam
On my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up
So they’ll go
What’s the matter baby?
Come on, save my soul
Want some sugar in my bowl
I ain’t foolin’
Want some sugar in my bowl

Wanna little sugar in my bowl
Wanna little sweetnes down in my soul
You been acting different
I’ve been told
Soothe me
I want some sugar in my bowl

I want little steam
On my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up
So they’ll go
What’s a matter, daddy?
Come on, save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl
I ain’t foolin’
I want some sugar in my bowl

“Adding Sugar & Vinegar“: the modern version of “carrot & stick” management techniques as described at https://managementweekly.org/stick-and-carrot-theory/

New Lyrics

I heard you’ve added vinegar
to the bowl,
As if I wouldn’t find out,
would never be told.

You used to make it,
without any flaw:
truly the very best
Nashville cole slaw.

Too much acidity:
well that I’ve had.
Don’t like it much,
not even a tad.

So maybe I’ll venture
and try crudité.
There may be less vinegar that way.

Takes no schoolin’ to swap vinegar for crudité.
