The Power of One (Solitary Letter "T")

Note to self - 3am is no time to post a blog. Particularly after a hard night of performing and partying. I thought I was thorough with my proof-reading but didn't realise that not only had I written in a random back-slash in a space line but, more importantly, I had left a seemingly innocuous "t" off after "I" at the start of my second sentence. 

This is a true testament to the value of thorough proof reading, as that one innocuous letter has the power to entirely change not only the meaning of the sentence but people's entire perception of me.

So - as you may have gathered if you read my last post I had meant to write "It was absolutely awesome!" I've been trying hard to be more of an arrogant rock star of late but I'm not yet to the point of blatant pontification about my ability to perform.

Given this circumstance I want us all to take a moment to reflect on how easy mistakes can be made and how we should put them in past and move forward, knowing they happen to everyone. 




The Power of One (Solitary Letter "T")


The power of one solitary "T"
Your absence makes an ass of me
So easily your absence goes
Unnoticed,  like an insects toes


Without you though I am now seen
As having a brain much like a bean
Inside a head that so expands
To make that bean a grain of sand


So now I dig out of this hole
I'm not the type to self-extol
One solitary oversight
I shouldn't write blogs late at night


I promise "T" to take more time
To check you're where Tees' purpose shine
And leave this moment in the past
By not proof-reading things so fast




So - I hope my reputation as an overly self-critical, occasionally self-hating, generally humble (but certainly not always), and somewhat anal/perfectionist type of person (despite occasional proof-reading errors) has been restored.
