874. Bad timing and rhyming
An eager young fellow named Buck, When wooing girls, has lousy luck. As soon as he meets 'em He speaks up and greets 'em: "Hi! My name is Buck, wanna dance?"
This post reminds me of a friend from college named Paul Lanier, one of the brightest and "different-thinking" folks it has been my pleasure to have met. One time out of the blue he starts singing the Rodgers & Hart song "Something Stupid" (popularized by Frank Sinatra and others):
I know I stand in line until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me. And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance You won't be leaving with me. And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two. And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like, "YA WANNA ****?" ________________________________________________ (And just because it is so unexpected from one of the masters from the Golden Age of Song Writing,) Hey, Lorenz, what's with the "line/time" near-rhyme at the beginning of this verse?
