BEAUTIFUL HANGUP
(Sung to the tune of Beautiful Dreamer, By Stephen Foster)

Beautiful hang-up, why should we part,
When we have lived our whole lives from the start?

We are so used to taking one course,
Oh what a shame it would be to divorce!

Beautiful hang-up, don’t go away!
Who will befriend me if you don’t stay?

Though you still make me look like a jerk,
Living without you would take so much work!
Living without you would be too much work!

Here is something I received in an e-mail:

Life is like a bagel. It’s delicious when it’s fresh and warm, but often it’s just hard.
The hole in the middle is its great mystery, and yet it wouldn’t be a bagel without it.

Life is like an unassembled abacus. It’s what you make of it that counts.

Life is like eating grapefruit. First, you have to break through the skin; then it takes a couple of bites to get used to the taste, and just as you begin to enjoy it, it squirts you in the eye.

Life is like a maze in which you try to avoid the exit.

Life is like a banana. You start out green and get soft and mushy with age. Some people want to be one of the bunch while others what to be top banana. You have to take care not to slip on externals. And, finally, you have to strip off the outer coating to get at the meat.

Life is like riding an elevator. It has allot of ups and downs and someone is always pushing your buttons. Sometimes you get the shaft, but what really bothers you are the jerks.

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle but you don’t have the picture on the front of the box to know what it’s suppose to look like. Sometimes, you’re not even sure if you have all the pieces.

Life is like cooking. It all depends on what you add and how you mix it. Sometimes you follow the recipe and at other times, you’re creative.

Life is like a puppy dog always searching for a street full of fire hydrants.

Life is like a poker game. You deal or are dealt to. It includes skill and luck. You bet, check, bluff, and raise. You learn from those you play with. Sometimes, you win with a pair or lose with a full house. But whatever happens, it’s best to keep on shuffling along.

Larry,

Those are really cute! Isn't it fun to write paraodies of songs?!! I love to do that too!
