I am in Fairfax California Another beautiful day but a little drizzly and hazy I still live an apartment building with 60 souls There are 55 yr olds to 90s They all seem to have some oddities I think I’m normal at all These people look a little nut-jobs Maybe their shells are cracked Sometimes I get some free food Whole Earth & holistic groups Few helpers leave the disgusting expired foods My tenant keeps his TV loud And sometimes he moves furniture even the night time And he’s sort of a nag I know that some of them are incredibly lonely They want to talk all the time This is why that I have earbuds and sunglasses as well Usually I just wave and smile I know I’m an old person but I feel like I’m younger. I know being here is a ‘honeymoon’ And there’s no sex .....duh I’m not sure the tenants even knows what it is Maybe I’ll snap some pictures    |

My writing is my rant. It’s not my ranting with loud decibels. I should have more bold words or exclamations.
Edit: i’m not whining. I should go to a different class- Pychology Whining 101

"My tenant keeps his TV loud" would be a good opening line for a song. I'm not sure where the story goes from there, though.

He’s keeps his TV loudly He keeps his TV meals hotly He keeps has his dog chained He keeps has his wife in chains The first stanza Second stanza (draft) It’s got to be something about a trailer park Rusty cars and decriminalized ex-prisoners It’s going to be Tennessee or Arkansas Third stanza  And it’s got to be a cowboy song - G chord |

My tenant keeps his TV loud
And 'though I said, "No pets allowed"
He's got a German Shepherd and a Pekingese
Ugliest dogs you'll ever see
He done time at the Grimes Unit
I'd ask him but he'd just deny it
At least there he learned a trade
As good with cars as he was a blade
(chorus)
Rich man's better off, we're all worse
All wind up in the back of the same hearse
And there but for the grace of God go I
Eatin' TV dinners by Birds Eye
I tell him to turn the TV down
He's watchin' Hannity and those other clowns
They fill his head with bad ideas
And make him think what's mine is his
He's full of crap and untrue facts
Conspiracy theories fly out his ass
Probably the dumbest guy I know
But he pays on time so he's good to go
(chorus)

David
You’re doing more writing and editing .
You’re a songwriter.
I want to see the singing and guitar.
I’m really just a groupie
The Soundholian
How much better on a piano..... 😎

And lots of editing. |

It is GC & D - No capo
I tried to sing it - I sing like the early 60s Bob Dylan
You can do the melody
You can change the little edit —- turn off TV ..... burn the TV
There isn’t anything for a live or dead dog - one verse
It must be something about a woman or sheep
