I've just learned to turn it off

I Won't Send Roses (Mack & Mabel)

I won't send roses or hold the door
I won't remember which dress you wore
My heart is too much in control
The lack of romance in my soul
Will turn you grey, kid
So stay away, kid
Forget my shoulder when you're in need
Forgetting birthdays is guaranteed
And should I love you, you would be the last to know
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so

My pace is frantic, my temper's cross
With words romantic I'm at a loss
I'd be the first one to agree
That I'm preoccupied with me
And it's inbred, kid
So keep your head, kid
In me you'll find things like guts and nerve
But not the kind things that you deserve
And so while there's a fighting chance, just turn and go
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so

I assumed it was nearing a close . . .

That's good to know. I thought it was pretty clearly in denouement--I wouldn't want it to seem like a completely abrupt stop.

I was thinking of doing two more chapters, but I decided on just one after a lot of thought. I often find I do better with slightly less space than I think I need.

I still think you should collect it.

That's nice of you to say. Do you really thing the artwork in the first few chapters holds up? I still don't think I'd be able to find a willing publisher.

Yes; I think it does. It's not the quality of the artwork in the first couple of chapters, anyway, it's the slight differences in character design that don't settle until the seventh or eighth chapter. But the characters are all recognizable as themselves.

I still don't think I'd be able to find a willing publisher.

I have no idea how these things work. But if you did find a publisher, I would certainly buy a copy.

I know what you mean. What's weird is I mostly didn't realise I was doing it.

But if you did find a publisher, I would certainly buy a copy.

Thank you.
