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). Whether or not the “vinegar” added is prevention from participating in future [auctions], being added to the [auction list] or something worse is anyone’s guess.

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

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.
