Behind the Scene At Npr

Behind the Scene at NPR On the roof again A code we send out every now and then When someone’s life is almost near the end We say that he is on the roof again On the roof again Let’s start writing bout our sickly friend Who’s life has almost gone around the bend A bio for who’s on the roof again On the roof again Like a band of writers, we check off the birthdays Of our special friends Insisting that their bio’s written our way But today He’s on the roof again We’ve got a bio that we must amend The life we live is writing bio’s open-end In case somehow they’re off the roof again On the roof again As writers we must now attend That bio that we have is really way too thin And it can’t wait – he’s on the roof again note - when a noted person is reported to be gravely ill, NPR writers get a notice that he or she is "on the roof" and it is time to update their BIO.
