I hope there's a special spot in the beyond for funnymen like our dads. My father was not Jewish, but from what I’m reading of Big Lew the Jew, they seem to have been quite alike.

Happy Spring

To quote my dear Irene,

Spring has sprung, the grass has ris’,
I wonder where the birdie is?

There he is up in the sky,
He dropped some whitewash in my eye!

I‘m alright, I won’t cry,
I’m just glad that cows can’t fly!
