Mighty Mouse & Today's Threatened Writing: Jules this is for you

It's not everyday that your mother sings you the 'Mighty Mouse' theme song. (It really isn't.) Thereby, one would have to assume, that to illicit such a momentous response, the occasion must have been a great one--and so, the day itself, must be a great one.
Or not.
But! It could be! And never underestimate the power of the 'Mighty Mouse' theme song--never. Especially when sung in your mother's soprano--and especially not when she's holding her arms out as though she herself is the new and improved Mighty Mommy Mouse...which she might possibly have said she was.
The GINORMOUS wolf spider was slayed and it was Might Mommy Mouse who saved the day!

Today:
You were so
Hot
and then
Cold
with the flavors on the tongue
you taunted
with words
and the sickly sweet of
tasteless
candy that everyone
hands to you when
you
feel
down--
as though the sugar to the brain
helps
when your brain has died from
over thinking
over heating
over doing
over and over and over again
Today:
You are tasteless
