and I just HAD to post it , being ( I
believe ) , one of my finer efforts ...
Our old friends , Nancy & Bruce , live up in a
suburb of the Twin cities of Minnesota , and
 |
| Bruce and Nancy , hiking in Glacier NP |
Bruce is retiring as an editor at the Star Tribune
after 50 years , and is also known for having amassed
quite a large collection of cufflinks , among other
antiques---in fact that's their side business..
A party is being thrown in his honor
soon by Nancy & friends ...but we can't make it !
Soooo , Nancy wants some of us to send a poem ,or
some such tribute , to the man ...
Naturally ,my mind , thinking 'how can we make this
fun - maybe even take it Down a notch ?' , comes up
with this ........
Sing in tune to the theme song from the
Beverly Hillbillies ....
The Ballad of Bruce Adomeit'
Come and listen to a story about a man named Bruce;
A poor writing man, and his words were not obtuse.
Then one day, he met a fine young lass
And before another deadline, we had to raise the glass---
To wedding vows, married bliss.
Well, the first thing you know, Bruce says its time to go --
'Gotta pack up all this stuff, and sell the old condo'
Said 'This Roseville Place
is like a favorite pair of socks'
So they loaded up the Cufflinks, and moved a couple blocks--
To Roseville that is; 'Easy move - still a good commute!'
Well, now it's time to toast the man
Who's put in 50 years---
The Star Tribune's the place that he
gave blood and sweat and tears..
You're all invited here today
to give the man a cheer,
and partake of some debauchery
and roasted pig & beer....
Minnesota style;
take your Redwings off
You sure enough can print that --
y'hear?
Rewriting TV themes songs as a career change ?
Nahhhhhhhh.......
