The Balladier strikes again

I had fun with this last nite....
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.......
