Nobody Cried

It came as a great shock to everyone, the day his life was abruptly done.

They assumed he’d live forever, they’d say to one another:

(of course, after he’d shut his office door that is when the best gossip would begin to roar)

“He’s a grump,” “He’s a miser,” they all said so it was with no sorrow they learned he was dead.

Be My Superman

Honey, we’ve been together so very long,
is it time to be moving on?
But wait, why can’t we still stay together?
After all, we still love each other.
We’ve hit troubled waters, can’t you see?
Why can’t we just love each other like they do on TV?

I’ll be your Lois if you be my Superman.
I’ll be your Terry if you be my Nickie.
I’ll be your Mimi if you be my Guy.
I’ll be your Nora if you be my Nick.

Maybe we can start all over,
as long as we’re together.
We’ll take it like they in the movies,
no matter what happens, we’ll be happy.
As long as we don’t break into reality,
we can do it like they do it on TV.

I’ll be your Lois if you be my Superman.
I’ll be your Terry if you be my Nickie.
I’ll be your Mimi if you be my Guy.
I’ll be your Nora if you be my Nick.

Those wouldn’t be good enough for me,
I want to go for all the glory.

I’ll be your Lombard if you be my Gable.
I’ll be your BaCall if you be my Bogart.
I’ll be your Allen if you be my Burns.
I’ll be your Evans if you be my Rogers.
