Rick Carson wrote a book called "Taming Your Gremlin". I read it and it had a profound impact on me. I strongly recommend it to everyone. Here's a link: https://tinyurl.com/ybemv62g
Hey Mr. Know-It-All - I see you
Lurking in the shadows with a wink
Leaking information without a clue -
It’s enough to make you drink
Hey Mr. Sneaky Pants - I see you
Ducking under covers trying to hide
Biding your time until the getaway -
I could take you for a ride…
Out! Out! Out of my life!
But you’ll never go away
Out! Out! Out of my world!
But I know you’re here to stay…
Hey Mr. Party Boy - I see you
Stumbling and spilling your buzz
Retching in the corner with the widest smile…
and that’s all he does
Hey Mr. Daring - I see you
Leaping with a rope around your feet
Flying off a bridge to nowhere, man,
Permanently on repeat…
Out! Out! Out of my life!
But you’ll never go away
Out! Out! Out of my world!
But I know you’re here to stay…
And I can’t say you make things any better
But I can say you make it interesting
And I can’t say that you make water wetter
But I can say that I am noticing
All the chaos that you bring…
Hey Mr. Blob - yeah, I see you
Lounging around with your loot
Caring what they say, you do it anyway
imagining you’re cute.
Hey Mr. Spotlight - I see you
Starving for a bit more applause
Longing to love an illusion -
You’re a lost cause.
Out! Out! Out of my life!
But you’ll never go away
Out! Out! Out of my world!
But I know you’re here to stay…
Out! Out! Out of my head!
But you’ll never stop your song
Out! Out! I’m out of my mind…
I guess… we’ll learn to get along.

Love these lyrics Bob! I'm guessing reading the book would help me make more sense of them?
