Fluffy

With a voice like yours, you were no Beverly Sills. It was loud and booming, and gave me the chills. Gloria, I remember your little sixties ditty. It was a cute song although it wasn’t very pretty. Your record could have fit into only one category: Anybody would have considered your song a “novelty.” It was all about your little dog named “Fluffy”. Listening to the tune no doubt produced some tears. Somehow, your recording has survived all these years. The record may not have gone up too far on the charts; however, it has a following as it touched a few hearts.

I started playing the song in the kitchen while my daughter was doing her homework..she said turn that crap off!! I am laffing so hard bc that song is outstandingly annoying and fun!!! Your poem hit the heart of the matter...someone commented below the youtube link that she should sing the national anthem..a wonderful entry for the contest, Robert. A lot of fun. Gwendolen
