6 comments in the last three posts. Two of those posts with no comments. I assume that no one even listened to my recording of 'The Immigrants' on my second to last post. Ah well, maybe music just has no interest around here.
Woke: used in a lot in old blues songs - "I woke up this morning to the sound of a train. I said...(repeat first line)"* "My alarm clock was working but I couldn't hear it for the rain."*

These days I think it's supposed to mean that you're a leftie, which I am. I guess that's why I woke up this morning. I'll look the term up, just in case I got it wrong.
It's funny how I still remember all the words to The Taumarunui Blues. One verse went,
"Well, Taumarunui ain't a one horse town, I said
Taumarunui ain't a one horse town.
Them horses got more sense,
Ain't a single horse for fifty miles around."*
Here's one definition I found of 'woke', though I think it probably also has other connotations...
"Alert to injustice and discrimination in society, especially racism."

I hope that the eye procedure went well.
We already have one one-eyed blogger and don't need another.
They took out my eye ball and replaced it with my left testicle.
I was walking down the road afterwards and someone stopped me and asked what ship I was off.
I guess they saw some semen.

Hence the expression 'hairy eyeball'.
