My brain kept hearing "pocky stick" as "hockey stick", that could be good though :lol: .]]> Sunday Songwriters Group andygetch https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg11-week2-pocky-stick-day/#post-379443 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg11-week2-pocky-stick-day/#post-379432 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:38:38 +0000
Thanks, David for the listen and feedback and MrEWorm for the explanation.

Nov 11 looks like Pocky Sticks, so they use that date 11/11 and last year was a SUPER Pocky Day 11/11/11 :lol:]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg11-week2-pocky-stick-day/#post-379432 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg11-week2-pocky-stick-day/#post-379431 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 05:01:20 +0000

I love assignments like this because I never have a clue as to what's going to happen. Wonderful song!

The only suggestion I have would be to either drop of change the first bridge:
Let’s remember
Eleven November
Exchanging biscuit treats; oh, you’re so sweet
Let’s remember
Eleven November
Don’t you know how much you mean to me? Specifically calling out November 11 seems more than strange. I get that it was the assignment date (as well as Armistice Day or Veterans' Day depending on where one lives) but it seems a distraction from the rest of the song. Surely there are better ways to frame the third and sixth lines.

Looking forward to more - not to mention who among us might choose to write about going cold turkey on cold turkey.

Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to post and explanatory link :wink:
like an English translation of one of the commercials. Thanks, John. Yes, that's what I was going for. :wink:

Good Job! After checking out EWorms link it sounds like an English translation
of one of the commercials.
