A Bit of Tersity

I learned a lesson in delicacy this evening. At my school's hockey game tonight against a rival school, I took to shouting a phrase of derision that I thought was clever and funny during the lull that happens after the cheers for a home goal. I got a laugh when I cried, "Get used to it!" after the first goal. But, on the second and third goals, I made comments that were not laughed at, and fellt quite silly--sillier than usual, in fact. So I'll try to be a little more tactful and selective in the future. But I'm skeptical of whether I'll actually hold myself to that.

Tonight's lyric excerpt:

Yes, "Owner of a Lonely Heart"
"Watch it now,
The eagle in the sky,
How he dancin' one and only.
You - lose yourself,
No not for pity's sake,
There's no real reason to be lonely.
Be yourself,
Give your free will a chance,
You've got to want to succeed."
