Tribute To the Snurds

I'd like to take this opportunity to express a full measure of sympathy To the family of the late Mortimer Snurd, an amputee whose plight moved us to gimpathy And to his wife Anabelle Fofoofnik Snurd, whose wobbly gait triggered our limpathy --Not to mention his poor children, upon whom we showered our impathy. Of course, there's the Snurd's loyal family mutt, Blurd, who gets all of our Rin-tin-timpathy, Yes, even their security guard, Slurd, who couldn't prevent four break-ins, receives our wimpathy. And as we part from you, O Snurds, here's a little song to demonstrate our bim-bom-bimpathy: Cheery-bim, Mortimer Snurd Cheery-bom, Annabelle Cheery-bim, Blurd Cheery-bom, Slurd Cheery-bim-bom-bim-bom-bim-bom --How Absurd!

Just had to immortalize the late (great) Mortimer Snurd somehow. Inside dope: This was the name my mother used to call me when she wasn't too pleased with me. Annabelle Fofoofnik was one of my (two) sister's name when she incurred my mother's displeasure...Glad you enjoyed, and thank you, as always, for the support. :) gw
