You've Got a Friend ...


You've Got a Friend

When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand
and nothing, nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.

If the sky above you
should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
and soon I'll be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey now, all you have to do is call.
And I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

Hey ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, and they'll desert you.
They'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey now, all you have to do is call.
Lord, I'll bee there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.


I'll be back, but I don't know when. Someday soon. If you need me, write me. You've got a friend.

They're Not Trying to Be This Beautiful ... It's Accidental

Ms. Frankie. She may look humble, but she smacks Johnny
on the head whenever he walks by.
Handsome Johnny. He eats first his food, then moves on to Frankie's food.
It understandable that Frankie smacks him whenever he walks by.
Mr. Cat Universe. He's got super good looks
and large muscles, but he's not conceited about it.
Frankie, The Cat with the Golden Eyes.
Where's Johnny? She wants to smack him a few times.

Positive Marketing

Was $249.99; Now on Sale for Only $259.99
What if this sort of thinking was taken further? 

1. "We're giving you a raise. You were earning $65,000 a year, but we're reducing your salary to $40,000 in May. You'll pay far fewer taxes! Isn't that great? Congratulations!"
2. "We're having a two-for-one sale. If you buy one item, we'll only charge you for two. Deals like this don't come along every day!"
3. "We could charge you just $17,999 for this new car, but we won't. We want you to look like a big spender, a dynamic buyer, so we're charging you $45,999 instead. It's for your benefit!"
