Hi Iggy,

Yes to what Vic just said! For the same reason you and Vic did, probably, I originally pondered over the word "chore" too. However, it really seemed to fit the situation. It did seem like something that was weighing on his mind, like a chore. In my mind, it goes with the word "weigh" in the chorus. Also, the word seemed to fit in with death .. Mrs. Bull's chores on earth were through, though my son had one of his to finish, however self-imposed it was. It's an interesting discussion!

Oh my gosh, Roscoe is way TOO cute! And seeing Roscoe with Sophie .. they're hilarious! They look like tall salt and pepper shakers! Sakari is waiting patiently for you to send them packing...

And thanks so much ... we're very pleased that you liked the song!
Lisa
