A Little Song

(tap tap tap) Is this thing on? Can you hear me back there? Good. Good. I'd like to leave you with a little song. Hit it, boys.

Now this could only happen to a gal like me

And only happen in a town like this:

So may I say to each of you most gratefully

As I throw each one of you a kiss...
This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too,
People who smile at you And each time I roam, Chicago is Calling me home, Chicago is Why I just brim like a cloud
Its my kind of town. My kind of town, Chicago is My kind of town, Chicago is My kind of razzmatazz And it has, all that jazz And each time I leave, Chicago is Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is The constant food, Chicago is The killer views, Chicago is One town that won't let you down Its my kind of town.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress.

VERY creative! Is there a second verse?

Thanks, CB. Nothin' I love more than singing standards in a smokey, uh, laptop...

Jon: That's all the verses to that song but as Chicago has been immortalized in song more than once, there may be more to come. But I'm going to wait until everyone has had a few more drinks.

Thanks, Rosie. I think it's fun that we give each other awards in Blogopia. Makes me giggle.

Jon: And speaking of awards, I shall now give you the Eagle Eye Award for Spotting a Spoof. I wondered if anyone would catch that. And ok, purists will say that our lineup isn't quite right and all that. To which I say, "Pft". Any way, we took 2 shots, one with me & Child, one with Daddy-o and then, yes...yes, I did, I photoshopped him in! Hee de hee!

THE MORNING PERSON
by A. Hat

(knocks on door with giant mocha and bagel)
(peers into window)
"Hmm...am I early? Wait...is the Blogluck today or..."
(presses ear to door)
Nothing stirs within.
It is too, too early.
