Taking the Edge Off

Here, take this blue pill It’ll take the edge off ... of this, I’m certain it will That’s alright, it’s safe Dr. Huxtable would know, I’ve played the good doctor on television before Here, take the sky color pill with a glass of champagne It will help you to relax, take the edge off ... If you start to feel a little woozy, that’s alright, just lay back and let the good doctor examine you It’s okay to take a little snoozy Let me put your dress on the clothes rack, so Doctor Hux can get a better look to see what to do That little smurf colored pill should be kicking in right about now Just relax, here take another sip — let it take the edge off ... It’s good to watch those inhibitions drop, don’t worry, the good doctor here won’t let that bad Cosby guy put a hand on you No need to remember this private session we just had Everything is confidential cool Before you leave, would you like another bubbly glass, what’s that you say? Oh, the champagne trip to the blue moon was a blast Say what again, the good doctor did what? He gave you another colored pill, for which you didn’t ask And he had you drink from his personal flask Okay, now don’t go getting mad ... remember dear, Cosby here is a good television dad

Wow, Freddie! Evil at its most nefarious. So sad. So many people disappoint. My favorite athlete many years ago was O.J. Only Jesus can be counted on 100 percent. Great write, my friend!

What a vision, sadly, I can no longer watch the show even tho they have begun reruns. Sad epitaph to one who was so inspiring.
