Verse for YOU!!!
Dearest Friend:Although no "breakthrough" has come to my job yet, I'm as determined as ever to find some sort of position in this company...although recent events seem to be needlessly complicating my efforts. But, after all, what's a little trouble and strife, but a tonic for one's creative faculties???
This morning as I slapped on my tired-looking bronze-hued shirt, I was listening to Ella Fitzgerald sing a song which immediately cried out to be sent to YOU!!! So here is a lyric for your reading pleasure, you connnoisseur of tasteful ditties, you!!!
"THINGS ARE LOOKING UP"
by George & Ira Gershwin
"If I should suddenly start to sing,
Or stand on my head, or anything,
Don't think that I've lost my senses,
It's just that my happiness finally commences.
The long, long ages of dull despair,
Are turning into thin air.
And it seems that suddenly I've,
Become the happiest guy alive!!!
Things are looking up,
I've been looking the landscape over,
And it's covered with four-leaf clover,
Oh, things are looking up,
Since love looked up at me!!!
Bitter was my cup,
But no more will I be the mourner,
For I've certainly turned the corner,
Oh, things are looking up,
Since love looked up at me!!!
See the sunbeams,
Every one beams,
Just because of YOU!!!
Love's in session,
And my depression,
Is unmistakably through!!!
Things are looking up,
It's a great little world we live in,
Oh, I'm happy as a pup,
Since love looked up at me!!!"
NOW, here's a little verse from ME to YOU:
IF lumbering reptiles swarmed the Earth again,
IF the moon was merely a swirl of formless dust,
IF turtles had wings, and foxes could soar,
IF peace broke out in cities worldwide,
IF small babies all remained innocent lifelong,
IF students truly studied diligently each day,
IF beauty and age and disability mattered not at all,
IF joy sprand open daily in every human heart,
IF kindness suddenly became "cool",
IF music replaced money as the world's desire,
IF truth was wealth and lies were debts,
IF x people were suddenly envied by all,
IF time was no longer a barrier but a door.
Would I ever again find a FRIEND as FINE as YOU???
Written From The Heart,
Your Unworthy Friend,
"pat"
