A Sheep In Wolf's Clothing

In my fantasies I wolf down all my food 'Course that way it doesn't taste too good I also stand on a hill and howl at the moon Then again, those nights can't end too soon... In my dreams I torment the three little pigs Yet I can never blow down the third one's digs And every time I try to fool Little Red Riding Hood I wind up thrown out of my house, and into the woods... My greatest wish was always to have been Wolfman Jack But back then it was courage I undoubtedly lacked Yet now that I'm brave enough to publicly yelp 'woof, woof' I'm content just to be myself -- simple, plain Gershon Wolf!

The title, of course, is perfect for you - also enjoyed the fairy tale references ( was Wolfman Jack a famous DJ? Not sure) Many congratulations on your win!

Yes, indeed, Wofman Jack was THE DJ, par excellence, of what I think of as the Golden Age of Rock and Roll, i.e., before the Beatles. Thanks for the input, Michelle! :) gw

It is true "Gerson Wolf" is a pretty cool name. I love the idea of you tormenting the 3 little pigs! Congrats :)

Intriguing comment: Never thought of my name as cool before, although I have given a few pigs a rough time! LOL. Thanks, P.S! ~ Gershon

Bravo, Gershon...though I doubt you've ever been or ever will be plain.

Correct, Line....By implication, I'm simple. (And I really am). :) gw
