3.   Another example of how your mood does not feel

EXAMPLE:

I’m mellow

Not a go lay in a sunny field and chew on a piece of grass mellow

Not mellow enough to give a bum all my money

Not mellow enough to sit on an ocean yacht and drink lemonade

But just a sit in the air-conditioned living room watching re-runs mellow

Mellow like a nothing to do Saturday morning

Mellow like watching your cork from the bank of a cool country pond

A “do what I want” mellow that takes no effort or planning.
