SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Dull Men of the World Unite -- LONDON (Reuters) - Now there's a Web site for the man who has everything except a life. Promising to free its readers from the pressures of trying to be "in and trendy," www.dullmen.com reviews dull books, tells dull jokes and lists dull events for every month of the year.  "In March, we like to watch maple trees during sugaring time.  Sap dripping just right to watch -- the right pace, the right suspense," suggests the site run by the U.S.-based National Council of Dull Men.  Laid out in shades of grey, black and white, it also offers a test with questions like "Do you like to watch airport luggage carousels?" and "Do you like English food?" to help readers find their true selves.

Watching Paint Dry, Naturally by McGrath of Harlow

McGrath's Comments:  "Life get's teejus, don't it?"   Can't really top that.  But anyway:

Watching paint dry, that's for me. 
Watching paint dry, naturally.
There's no hurry, no there ain't
I won't worry, if the paint
takes it's time, I'll be fine, 
please don't mind, right now I'm 
just watching paint dry... naturally.

Watching grass grow, that's for me. 
Watching grass grow, naturally.
There's no hurry, let it pass,
I won't worry, if the grass
takes it's time, I'll be fine, 
please don't mind, right now I'm 
just watching grass grow... naturally.

Watching clouds, that's for me. 
Watching clouds, naturally.
There's no hurry, see them drift,
I won't worry, that's my gift -
I'll be fine, passing time, 
please don't mind, right now I'm 
just watching grass grow... naturally.
