Thought of the day

[terrie]

There was a song we used to sing back when I did Brownies (low level of girl scouts, for those non-US types). The lyrics are:

I've got something in my pocket,
That belongs across my face,
I keep it very close at hand,
In a most convenient place.
I'm sure you couldn't guess it,
If you guessed a long long while.
So I'll take it out and put it on,
It's a great big brownie smile.

It recently occurred to me that, in a post "Heath-Ledger-as-the-Joker" world, there's something really creepy about that song.
