I like words, and the ways they can be put together, and that's the reason I listen to Country music. It has some very inventive lyrics. (The same is true of Rap: In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum.) Unless you've been living under a rock, you may have heard Toby Keith's big hit, with the line I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was.

For some reason that I can't explain, this morning a new version of that line just popped into my mind, and I liked it instantly:

I ain't as dumb as I once was, but I can be as dumb once, as I ever was.

Happy Thursday!
