Thanks for the creative theme, Brian. I've recently left practically all the social media platforms I belonged to, and, subsequently, have had a burst of creative energy. Here is an original I wrote a couple of days ago based on hilarious conversations I have had with the one and only DelGriff about the differences between American English and English English. I hope you enjoy it. It was good for me. I'll attach the lyrics. I promise I know how to spell armor... armour... armor... :- D I'm not sure why that tripped me up.

One day when my life had lost its color… C-O-L-O-R
You came along and splashed around your colour… C-O-L-O-U-R
It could be that I’d lost my sense of humor… H-U-M-O-R
Thankfully, you brought your sense of humour… H-U-M-O-U-R
Baby, now you’ve gone… How can I go on
With no U, no U, no U?
Maybe I was looking for a savior… S-A-V-I-O-R
I really can’t explain my own behavior… B-E-H-A-V-I-O-R
Were you simply being a good neighbour? N-E-I-G-H-B-O-U-R
Was I just a charitable labour? L-A-B-O-U-R
Since you set me free… What’s to become of me
With no U, no U, no U?
Break
In the end, you’ve done me a big favour… F-A-V-O-U-R
You’ve given me sweet memories I can savour… S-A-V-O-U-R
Around my heart I’ll need to place some armor… A-R-M-O-R
To help me with these feelings that I harbor… H-A-R-B-O-R
My Englishman, I say… My ardor’s spelled this way
With no U, no U, no U
My Englishman, I say… My ardor’s spelled this way
With no U, no U, no U
No U
