The Doorbell Rang

THE DOORBELL RANG – Etheree Ring! Bother! Ring again An alien! Oh, what a surprise! He’s not what you’d expect He’s not green with a small head No he looks very much like us “Hey! Your parrot pooped in my rocket ship!” He says “Fly Me to the Moon,” sings Polly

thanks for sharing your own tv nostalgia with me. Remember how they took guiding light off the air a few years ago? That soap opera I had followed since high school, around '74 and yet its history goes all the way back to radio soaps before the 50's! They lost a treasure of history with that one's demise.
