Eleanor Rigby - the Beginning

(Hopefully you could sing this to tune of original song) What of the unloved friendless children? What of the unloved friendless children? Eleanor Rigby searches the audience hoping her parents have come. She’s in a play, and when it’s over, she hears applause, but she knows that her parents aren’t there. Why don’t they care? Friendless unloved children, there always are a few. Friendless unloved children. Whatever can they do? Her fifth-grade teacher seeing how Eleanor sits while the other kids play every day! She asks some students if they’ll befriend Eleanor, but she’s not listened to. What can she do? Friendless unloved children, there always are a few. Friendless unloved children. Whatever can they do? Eleanor Rigby finished her school, was a janitor all of her life - never a wife. Her fifth-grade teacher rarely succeeded in helping the child with no friend; then came her end. . . Friendless unloved children (what of the friendless unloved children?) there always are a few. Friendless unloved chldren (what of the friendless unloved children?) Whatever can they do? Aug. 27, 2019 for the "Eleanor Rigby Who Was She" Contest of Jerry T Curtis

A great part of my past was my involvement with foster children, both professionally and in my home. I truly appreciate this one. Write on!! Lonna

You did a great job, a dramatic write that my tone deaf self thought stayed on track (tone deaf or not, I've got that tune memorized.) I like where you took this. Should I get mine written, I think it will have a very unexpected view point. Love, CayCay

Thank you for making me sad. :) But what else could you do? The subject called for telling us, Eleanor's story true. But knowing all to well ourselves, her sadness deep inside. Is probably the very reason that Eleanor died. <3
