Paperclips, Pennies and Dust - Times Can Be Tough When You’re Chasin’ a Dream

Going through such a stressful day, nightfall couldn’t arrive

soon enough for him. With no real reason to stay up late as he

usually did, he chose to go bed earlier than usual. He had a hard

time falling asleep and when he finally did fall asleep, it wasn’t a

restful one. He tossed and turned all night long, his dreams

replaying the reality of the long, crooked road that lay ahead of him.

With all that he’d been going through, he still believed that all he

had to do was to get around the next bend in the road and there’d

be a rainbow of hope waiting to greet him.

He finally woke up from his restless sleep, made himself a

pot of coffee and opened his pouch of Drum tobacco to roll his

first smoke of the morning. “Yeah, right! I’m outta smokes,” he was

suddenly reminded.

He then went on a desperate rampage, searching through

every last pocket in his jackets and jeans in search of loose cash. He

managed to find some but it wasn’t enough. Next, he looked inside

every single cup in the kitchen cupboards. Still nothing! He had this

one remaining cup to check out, which sat on a table in the living

room. He’d always tossed loose change in there in the past as an

insurance policy for times like this. He took a quick look inside,

then, grabbing hold of the handle, he emptied its contents onto the

table, sifting through them with his index finger. He slowly

concluded that he’d already raided this piggy bank cup. Under his

breath, he whispered to himself, “Hmm, paperclips, pennies and

dust.”

That’s all it took for the smoke to clear from his thoughts,

thus inspiring the storyline of yet another song to be written.
