The end is near guys. It’s 2.30 AM and I’m looping Leonard Cohen on the CD player. Please pray for me.

See you later … so long marianne.  
I’m off with Suzanne to her place by the river.  
Her eyes are soft with sorrow, hey that’s no way to say goodbye.  
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy.  
I have tried in my way to be free.  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.  
You say I took the name in vain,  
Well I don’t even know the name,  
But if I did,  
What’s it to ya?

Are you okay? I’m hoping I’ve missed a joke, here.

Admitting to listening to Leonard Cohen? :eek:

You’re a braver soul than I am.

**Moderator’s note:**

If there’s a joke here it’s distinctly unfunny.  
**don’t ask** , if you’re doing anything more serious than riffing the Cohens then you need to get help, NOW.  
This is closed.

TVeblen,
