The Jessica Song

Duuuuude. Your updates and comments and touchbacks have been the best gift of the season. We're like those astronomers sending radio signals (or whatever signals they send) to deep space, and finally a singular and beautiful message returns: Jessica is kicking ass in first person – singular and beautiful.

To celebrate, I've written/stolen you a song. Adam Sandler rhyming gin-and-tonica and marijuanica with Hanukkah are the kind of brilliance I aspire to. Too bad you aren't named Monica. As it is, you'll have to settle for Guinnessica and spliff-nessica. This works better if you only half know Sandler's song, because I think I've fit lyrics to just the refrain. There are some syncopation and syllable emphasis issues, but I'm punchy as it is.

If Mark can strum some C-G-F chord progressions, it will vastly improve the tune's beat and danceability. I ain't too proud to say I actually sang this to make sure it worked.
Biggest new year love,
Bobbie

The Jessica Song

So I must confessica
how it impressicas
me

When you get aggressica
with this whole cancer messica.

I'd expect no lessica
from someone like you, Jessica.

If you want mindlessnessica,
you can always take up chessica.

But I digressica.
Your strength is boundlessica!

I'll lift high a Guinnessica,
though I can't light up spliff-nessica.

To all, let's shout,
"God blessica
our dear, dear, dear, dear, deeearpal – Jessica!"

I do, indeed, know that song--and your version is MUCH better.
