I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing...
...but I can't, because I have a terrible voice. I don't know whether to blame it on a tin ear or a lifetime of sinus problems and post-nasal drip. But I've always been very self-conscious about it and precious few people have ever heard me sing anything. When I was forced to appear in school programs, I merely mouthed the lyrics. If I'm in a church I sit silently when it's time for hymns. I won't even join in on a chorus of "Happy Birthday" at a party!
The only one who actually likes my singing is my bird. He loves to be serenaded, but he's very particular about the type of music he wants to hear. If I sing a pop or rock song he squawks and flaps his wings at me. He prefers show tunes. His favorites are "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" from "Evita" and "It's A Hard-Knock Life" from "Annie." He's such a theater bitch!!

HAHAHHAHA! That bird is something else! He has very particular tastes, doesn't he? BTW, I've heard you kinda sing/hum on a few occasions, and I don't think your voice is nearly as bad as you say. You can carry a tune, at least, which is more than most people can say.

Is it really possible I'm not as terrible as I sound in my head? Maybe I should sing into a tape recorder and see. This could change my whole life! :-)
