Here is a little about GUEST BLOGGER Deborah Poppink and some ways to find her music online:
"An insanely original singer/songwriter. While listening to Deborah, all one can do is just sit back and enjoy the ride through her wickedly imaginative, joyfully creative and always entertaining mind."

Ellie is a pretty girl who teaches piano
at the preschool up on the hill
But she loses her job and she’s single so she’s got
To find another way to pay phone bill
Knockin’ on doors til her knuckles are sore
She’s headin downtown to make a claim
In a dream she’s making music instead of spending her time
In the unemployment line
Thomas is a chef down at Crepe Suzette
Where he made a good net with benefits
Along comes a crash and nobody’s got cash so
The boss closes up that’s the end of it
He had a financé who up and ran away
He’s flat broke standing in the hot sun
In a dream he’s making bread instead doing the grind
In the unemployment line
Ellie in a polka-dot dress with her long legs stands behind
Thomas who’s lookin’ real nice in his levis he turns around
Neither one can explain the magic the butterflies they feel inside
In just a look his heart beats faster just one look makes her temperature rise
Tom and Ellie laugh loose track of time get
to the front can’t believe what the man says
A cafe in Mission needs a chef and musician
Yeah angels up in heaven must of planned this
They get their checks and go to the diner get to know
Each other in the booth and eating ice cream
They’re thanking god and thinking man
You never know what you’ll find
In the Unemployment line

I can count
On the tiny hands and feet I’ve carried
The sheer amount
Of fear and dread and energy
That I’ve put out
Please don’t mistake this
As complaining
But it’s astounding
How brutal love can be
Here my babies humble me
Here they test what love can mean
Here my head is filled with blood
And fear, and fear, and yet I shrug
And grin, my dear, my dearest love
What fun we had today
Breathe in, breathe out
Disaster threatens every angle
Twist and shout
Yes the naked dancing
Endlessly
Here my babies humble me
Here they test what love can mean
Here my head is filled with blood
And fear, and fear, and yet I shrug
And grin, my dear, my dearest love
What fun we had today
Breathe in scream out
Where sunset brilliance leaves us begging
For more of this
unsettling
This deepest truest reckoning
This lovely bubble laughing trouble
How lovely love can be
