Premium Member A Lone Ranger Mask

I'm feeling rather silly today

Not that that's so unusual

But I'm feeling even more silly than usual

Read on and methinks

You'll understand exactly what I mean

Have thoughts of what it would be like

To be a ravishing female

Rather than this hunk of male virility

That I am now

Of course I would be an absolute stunner

With a body to die for

Must stop... I'm getting all squirmy

How about if I became the ruler

Of a large African country and signed into law

That sex is officially permitted

In public places as long as you're wearing

A Lone Ranger mask

Oops! Methinks I may be stepping over the line

Alright, how about becoming a

Standup comedian with my own late night show

Now that's more up my alley

Good thing Leno and Letterman

Decided to call it quits

Guess they knew I was about to take over!

Perhaps I should go lie down a spell

Premium Member Ny Ny -- the Road In the Fork

New York, New York, the road in the fork  
   of the events, the places and folks who've buttered the pork

Like Rockefeller, Moynihan and Andrew Cuomo
   Frank Sinatra, Louie Armstrong, John Lenon and Yoko Ono

Lenny Bernstein and Lenny Bruce
   Cookie Monster, Rocky and Bullwinkle Moose

There's Radio City, Central Park and Carnegie Hall
   Coney Island, Yankee Stadium -- Let's Play Ball!

The Brooklyn Bridge on the Hudson River
   Lower East Side and the Village, for swingin' livers

Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and White Ford
   Don't forget Casey Stengel and Yogi Berra -- Oh, my Lord!

Marilyn Monroe, Madonna and Phyllis Diller in curlers
   Archie Bunker, the Meathead, Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller

Stooge-mania, West Side Story and Annie Hall
   Kramden, Norton and the Honeymooners
      You've seen or heard of 'em all

There's Madison Square Garden and the NY Philharmonic
   The Times and Wall Street Journal -- news junkies tonics

Malcolm X, Dr. King, and Abe Saperstein
    Julius Erving / Dr. J with a case of Afro-sheen

Baldies like Kojac and Yul Brynner, the King of Siam
   Sam I Am, Son of Sam, Green Eggs and Ham 

Harlem Globetrotters, the Apollo, Kareem Abdul Jabbar  
   Jay Leno, Ed McMahon and Johnny Carson, the great Jack Paar
 
There's Broadway, Times Square, Soho and Fifth Avenue
   Isaac Stern, Pavoratti, Willie Nelson and Ray Charles singin' the blues ...
 
Make a list from the Statue of Liberty all the way up to Mars 
   ~ You still might leave out a legacy of constellations and stars!
