NEWS OF THE WEEK, APRIL 25, 2014
While I can' t quite wrap my head around it
Brian Williams is rapping the news at a cool beat
Fallon' s kicking it on the Tonight Show
For living green just listen to Michelle O
The Mustang is 50 years old last week
It's Shakespeare's 450th say all the Tweets
Now that tax time is over until next year
the focus is baseball - moves into high gear
The next thing we know there's another George!
His parents are Kate M. and William at large
He' s cuter than ever at eight months old
His life is just beginning to unfold..........
A caring soul much like his grandmother,
A caring soul much like his grandmother,
Di, and Paparazzi spreads rumors of a brother
Charming even when his nappy needs a change,
His entire life is already prearranged
Very topical and quite adroit. We just can't take our eyes off that couple and their baby while the Queen turned 88 and looks as beautiful as ever. She well may outlive Prince Charles and no one would sob but Camilla. I'd say you took in the week...Fallon is funny and Brian Williams is???? Loved it!

ReplyDeleteThe Brian Williams raps are addictive, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThis gave me a smile but I feel sorry for those who are so in the world's scrutiny.
ReplyDeleteThis gave me a smile, but I feel sorry for those born into the limelight like that. Any mistake they make (if they have a chance to make one) is magnified. And how do we learn but my mistakes?
