Kaley started this off with the title and started the first verse this morning; but being addicted to rhyme I just couldn't wait. It is just a first draft of course so fire away. . . . . . Surprise Kaley! [Linked Image]

ADDICTED to DOTS

Some folks...love their coffee
Because they crave caffeine
Others gotta have their cigarettes...
Cause they're hooked on nicotine. . .
But Kaley....well. . . I'm here to tell
She burst upon the scene
Using oodles of dotted doodles
To convey just what she means. . .

Chorus

She was. . .
Addicted to dots. . .
Mutating ellipses
That at times eclipsed her thoughts
Friends tried to cure her
Cause they loved her LOTS
Ka. . .ley Willow
Was addicted to dots.

She had a four dot pause and a two
And dots. . . that ran off. . .into the blue
There was the five dot case, an 8 dot place
And the three dot space we all knew;
She could make you hang back
Like you needed to collect your thoughts
But you’d draw a blank and realize
Kaley’s just addicted to dots.

Chorus

Addicted to dots. . .
Renegade ellipses
That at times eclipsed her thoughts;
Friends tried to cure her
Cause they loved her LOTS
Ka. . .ley Willow
Was addicted to dots.

Bridge

Well we'd understand
If her name was Dorothy
Or dub-ya, dub-ya, dub-ya. . . but it's not
Somehow Kaley Willow
From the town of Downy Pillow
Got herself addicted to dots.

It was so hard getting the knack
When to hang back, how long to pause
I fell asleep one time on a dotted line
Waiting for a sentence clause;
Then eventually we got to know
The duration of a Kaley Dot
Now we can even pause for the cause
Without losin' her train of thought.

Kay ley was. . .

CHORUS

Addicted to dots. . .
Renegade ellipses
That at times eclipsed her thoughts
Friends tried to cure her
Cause they loved her LOTS. . . .
Kay. . .ley Willow
Was addicted to Dots. . .

Ending

Yes, somehow Kayley Willow
Of downtown Downey Pillow
Got herself addicted to Dots.
