John+Dagon

Date of Birth (and death if applicable): May 10, 1960
===Education: "education started at The Inkwell, a small Protestant Church of Ireland junior school, before eventually continuing on to St. Patrick's Cathedral Choir School. But his time there was unsuccessful." "This was largely a result of the young Paul throwing dog feces at his Spanish teacher, which subsequently led to his enrollment in 1972 at Mount Temple Comprehensive School, a controversial establishment that was Ireland's first co-educational, non-denominational high school. Paul settled in very quickly and soon became well-adjusted and happy in his new environment."===

Ballad Title:Full Circle
Way back around 1962 A girl named Sally graduated from Hornell High School.

She was at the top of her class, and had beautiful blonde hair. For Sally the sky was the limit, even if there was no air.

The finest nurse, although she was young. Saved one life, and plenty more were to come. Poor Sally didn't know that life she would live more than one.

Now, back to the story of her being a nurse. Her mother owned the nursing home, she had a full purse. Soon out of nursing school she started a family. One son, three daughters. karen, kathy and annie.

She bought a nice house, living on The Circle. But this is a motif, that goes Full Circle.

Soon Sally changed, my mother once said. She began having tea parties with imaginary friends. Locking her kids out for days at a time, soon the doctors said that she had lost her mind.

Next for Sally was a dark and blurry time. For not even my mother knows about, so neither do I. But once strong enough to fly, Sally spread her wings and out of the Cuckoo's Nest she would rise.

Now Sally lives on Main Street. I love my Grandma, even if she is "crazy".

Sally is living back where she started, because her mom's old nursing home are now just run-down apartments.

Nostalgia Title:
12 years old, not a care in the world. no fighting about drugs no fighting about girls.

just take me back, back to when i was twelve. just take me back, chillin watching keenan and kel.

playing lob pitch at the little league park swimming in my pool cause there's no sharks messing with my neighbors dog, making it bark.

just take me back, back to when i was twelve. standing on the counter just to get some candy of the shelves.

biggest stress of the week is a spelling test dont need to impress anyone, so my hair is a mess might not be in first place, but my team was always the best.
