Got a spouse and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a h-h-hungry heart
Oh
I met him in a Kingstown yard
We fell in love, I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am in Houston again
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a h-h-hungry heart
La-la-la-la-la-la, oh yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la
Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a h-h-hungry heart
Oh yeah
(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
(Lay down your money and you play your part)
Oh yeah
(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
La-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la

d.: Well, I guess I have a few minutes to edit Cal.E.’s short story “A strange Planet” before I need to get ready to go to work tonight.
“I only have one condition for sharing my dinner,” Tom said to me.
“And that is,” I said.
“You must join me in my coma tonight.”“Are we going to eat catnip until we pass out?” I was curious.
“No, not a comma, my coma.”“How, pray tell, am I going to join you in a punctuation mark?”“My bed is shaped like a coma. It’s perfect for a cat, because if follows the contours of my back.”
“But there will be two of us in the bed if I join you.”
“We’ll make it work.”“I was so tired and hungry that I agreed to Tom’s terms, but he had a surprise for me when I woke up.
“I appreciate the gesture, Tom, but I’m not hungry enough to eat a whole rodent by myself anymore,” I said, as the dead mouse dangled from his mouth.
“No, Cal.E. This is my dowry. According to the laws of this planet, we’re married since we spent the night together in my coma.”
I wasn’t a native of Planet Earth, so I believed him. A couple of months later, my abdomen began to swell. A month after that, I delivered fourteen kittens. I was so frightened that I ran to the nearest fueling station and hopped on a truck headed west, back to where my journey had begun.
“Maybe,” I thought, “If I can find my spaceship, I can figure out how to repair it. Then, I can go back to my home planet and beg King Tom for forgiveness.”
d.: That’s all I have time for today. I must get ready for work now, so I’ll continue the next chapter of Cal.E.’s short story tomorrow, right here on Cal.E.’s Korner.
