The first four lines of the following are to be sung, very loosely, to the melody of the opening lyrics for “Black and White” by Three Dog Night. Somewhere I have a record of when I wrote this, and if I find it, I’ll add that scintillating information. And do let me know if you need me to sing this for you. Not previously published.
My cell phone’s off.
I hope yours is too.
Or we gonna have
a hullabaloo.
So plea-ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ease
turn off your phone.
