Vaccinaaation 🎶🎵
With apologies to Fermo Dante Marchetti and Maurice de Féraudy, composer and lyricist of the famous song, Fascination – perhaps best known as performed by Nat King Cole:
So: I have taken the liberty of writing a version that is perhaps more current, given these Covid times… My ditty goes like this:
🎶🎵 Vaccinaaation 🎶🎵
It was vaccinaaation, I know,
Time for a shot in my arm, for protection
Just a little jab, just a tiny stab
I was saved by a quickie injection
It was vaccinaaation, I know,
A second shot came along three months later
Just a little poke, it really is no joke –
My arm hurt like a bite from a ‘gator
It was vaccinaaation, I know,
Time to get boostered, just for “insurance”
Just a little pierce, just a little prick
No Covid! For I have resistance! …well, 70% resistance… approximately… they’re not sure…

Brilliant Words of Hope
Amanda Gorman’s stunning poem, and an interview with the 22-year-old who mesmerized us during Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday…
5 years! A Special ‘Blogversary’!
When I started this blog on June 28, 2015, I was scared out of my wits. What would I write? Who would read it? How long could I keep it going?

On Saturday, June 6th…
Light at the End of the Tunnel
These depressing days reminded me of a song I wrote in 1983. 🎵 Back then it was apropos of nothing, really, but it kind of fits what’s happening now. Maybe a tad exaggerated – poetic licence, I guess.
Snow, snow, terrible snow…
Lots more snow…
6 Million Did Not Die…
It was more like billions.
“Because: all the children who were murdered
Never grew up to become men and women…”
– a repost of mine, to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day.

“America is a Gun”
Today was a day of tears… and a day of hope.
