Buttercup's blog: "Squirrels in heat"

Oops... almost forgot!

Never minds (especially don't mind the spelling)

Never mind the horses And never mind the mud
Never mind the courses 
Or your grades when they go thud. 

Never mind the water 
Don't mind if you can swim 
Never see the ocean There's a chance you will fall in /> 

Nevermind the deadlines 
And don't mind mom and dad 
Nevermind the headlines 
When the news is looking bad 

Nevermind the toxins 
Never mind that smell 
Your children if you drop them 
Don't you ever tell 

Never mind the articles 
Never mind the laughter 
Never mind the particles 
You have been chasing after 

Never mind the telephone 
Never mind that ring 
Never ever even once 
Mind a single thing 

Never mind the tangles 
Twisting up your hair
Never mind the angles 
Can you see my house from there? 

Nevermind the pickle 
You walked into over there
Never mind the water trickle 
Down the front hall stair 

Never mind the pain you'll bring Nevermind tomorrow 
Never mind the guilt that stings Nevermind the sorrow 

Never mind permission! 
Never mind the boss 
Never mind the score board If your team is facing loss 

Never mind the people
Never mind them when they stare 
Nevermind the steeple 
Or that church that's over there 

Nevermind the city When alarms are going off 
Never mind the pretty wall cloud Nevermind that cough 

Never mind your fever 
Never mind your woes 
Don't mind in the theater 
When everybody goes 

Never mind the answers 
Because there are not any 
Never mind the questions 
Of those there will be plenty. 

Never mind the wishes 
Never mind the hope 
Never mind the dishes 
Never mind the soap. 

Never mind your left shoe 
Never mind the right 
Don't mind what your parents do 
Each night when they fight 

Never mind the feelings 
Never mind that coffin 
Never mind, you're healing 
We think about you often 

Never mind forgiveness 
Never mind the flu 
Don't say, "I don't get this" If you don't or if you do 

Never mind the feelings 
You wish you didn't have 
Never mind the peelings 
When the orange has gone bad.

Don't mind God when he's frightening Nevermind his stare 
Never mind the lightening 
That is striking over there 

Never mind the time at all 
Never mind the water 
Never mind your mom, your dad, your brother, or your daughter 

Never mind the ringing 
Staying in your ears 
Never mind the singing 
Though the others cannot hear 

Nevermind the future 
Please forget the past 
Never mind the sutures 
Those are healing fast 

Never mind the compliments 
Never mind the fuss 
Steal the packs of condements 
Sneak onto the bus 

Never mind the hurdles 
Never mind where you are 
Don't go saving the turtles 
That cross before your car 

Never mind the puddles 
Never mind the dirt 
Never look buffuddled 
When your feelings have been hurt 

Nevermind the insults 
Toss out the invitations 
Never mind the grown ups 
In any situation 

Never mind the Bible 
No one understands it 
Never mind the guys with funny hair Who always hand it 

Never mind your secrets 
Never mind that fall 
Find a penny keep it 
But never wish at all 

Mess up all your taxes 
Do it line by line 
Never mind the fact is 
You mess up all the time 

And when they ask you questions
And you don't know what to say 
Talk about the weather "It's a very lovely day". 

Never mind your heart is breaking
Don't listen to that shatter 
Who cares how long it's taking
Say nothing is the matter. 

Lock up all the windows 
Bolt up every door 
And never mind it, any of it 
Ever any more. 

Never mind that depression 
Never mind that pill 
Don't do chest compressions 
If they're turning pale and ill 

And nevermind the heimlich 
If you think someone is choking Nevermind the time-- look 
He's probably just joking 

Push away the people, crime 
Push away the crowds 
Play the same song twenty times 
Really, really loud 

Can't get it open? Pry it 
Never mind the locks 
Never had it? Try it -
Ebola, chickenpox. 

Never mind this writing 
And nevermind this girl 
And nevermind your sighting something That could change the world. 

Nevermind this poem
Nor love because it burns 
Don't mind going home 
Or when your stomach turns 

Never mind you're overwhelmed 
Don't worry anymore 
Make sure no one's at the helm 
When the ship is run ashore. 

Never mind the banter 
Never mind the chatter 
But listen to rain and wind 
And tell them what's the matter 

Nevermind tomorrow
It's just another day 
Don't mind if you feel hollow 
Or any words you say

And nevermind the stories 
Don't mind the hidden clues 
And nevermind I'm sorry 
For all I've done to you. 

And please don't mind the meter 
And never tell the time 
And don't turn down the heater 
If you're boiling in the brine. 

Never mind I'm not sure what you mean Or if I'm trying 
Never stick your hands between the sheets When they are drying. 

But please do mind the flowers 
And listen to the wind 
And talk to me for hours. 
So the neverminds will end.
