Regret
Dear EC User,
I’m just the man behind the curtain. If I only had a brain, a heart, some nerve…
I could while away the hours, conferrin’ with the flowers
Consultin’ with the rain.
And my head I’d be scratchin’ while
my thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain.
Should I steal your broom? Should I light it on fire? Should I douse you with water? Would you melt?
I’d be tender - I’d be gentle and awful sentimental
Regarding Love and Art.
I’d be friends with the sparrows …
and the boys who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart.
Should I cry? Would I rust? Would my heart become cold to your own cries for help? Or: Do I even care?
Yeh, it’s sad, believe me, Missy,
When you’re born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve.
But I could show my prowess, be a lion not a mou-ess
If I only had the nerve.
Here’s a medal. I applaud your bravado. But I’m not the brain or heart of Entrecard: You are! I’m an effigy. And I’m a machine. And I’m only “King of Beasts” in … your mind, your heart, your imagination.
For it’s only in your imagination that Wicked Witches show up to steal your little dog, Toto. You’re not in Kansas anymore. So put on your ruby slippers and go back home to your Auntie Em.
Or, at least: Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. For I’m a very good man if, perhaps, a very bad wizard.
Regretfully,
EC
(Note: Ben Barden from the Entrecard support forum took matters in his own hands. I contacted him there, forwarded my correspondence from deleted@entrecard.com to support@entrecard.com, and got my account reinstated. It took two days. I still think deleting my account was a mistake, in the first place. But I’m willing to move on and put this all behind me.)
