Listen, Lord why me?
If you look at me closely
You'll notice that a sailor I'm not meant to be
I'm as thin as a rail, I'm too fragile too frail

Why me? Why me? Why me?

I get pains in unorthodox places
I'm as physically fit  as a flea
I'm no leader of men, and I drink now and then

Why me? Why me? Why me?

gotta.   love broadway music !!  i saw  that  show.  "two by two"... the curtain opened and someone came out and said that danny kaye had had a terrible accident and broken his leg--  the crowd groaned-- he was why we were all there.....theater went dark... then the curtain flipped open and out came danny kaye bellowing  teh classic "why me???" and continued the entire show...  hopping about.--- dances and all ----with a cast on one leg....

the show  two by two is noah arguing with his children and God about building the arc... so many times i have thought of the real first 3 lines to that show.. which danny skipped that night. 

You want us to build a what?
It's gonna do what?
40 days and 40 what?

which firmly planted in my head " the great ones do not quit"..and as i got involved with some greats in the movie business, i saw it was definitely true.. a young, new commers would be the one to call a halt for some trivial matter. just because... they could. -----the great ones gave.. and kept giving.... jack nickleson got out of "his chair - gave it to some guy on crtuches and stood behind for a photogrraph...cher trying to get a crowd singing "kookaberry sits in. the old oak tree" ( an old girl scout song).  making movies can be extremely dull and there were  identical triplets in the movie who needed entertaining... p.s.  that mother told me she had their entire college tuition paid. for in the 2 weeks working on  the movie(witches of eastwick) ...

that made me realize  anything unusual.. like identical triplets,,, was a marketable item in the film bureau--and therefor made an awful lot of things deductable..

-----

back to. "why me?"  i am a victim of statistics... i have been too fragile... too frail. lets get down to  facts 

dogs  can bark noisliy--- you have 50 dogs---  therefore....your farm is noisy----  except it isn't

animal feed attracks rats-- you store tons of animal feed-- therefore you cause hundreds of rats----except we don't

it was almost comical to have the group stand there when i said last time we were all together it was because of dogs always barking unbearably loud.. had anyone even heard any barking at all?   no... there was nothing to bark at.

------

3 of the 5 were town employes-paid for by ipswich-- 

i better quit.

 because at 4pm.. due to nothing i did-------- i was in my driveway with a 1200 pound dead horse. and  2 pieces of paper which clearly said  if i moved it i could go to  jail for a year,  and---- it gave no phone number to ask for help-- just jail time.. i called the town the result was.......

no one would come out and give me another signed paper releasing the dead horse--( also they did not want it in thier driveway...)  so i was forced to rely on their  word,,, which i am reluctant to do... to take 3 photos of the dead horse and then i could remove it . negating  the quarintine notice...i was just doing a favor to a family that could not cope  with  teh death and spillage of  gallons of uterine fluid if she exploded....

. it never occurred to me that my kennel license was in danger due to that favor...

--------

this is what i should be paying attention to...

Hi Carlene,

 

Davis was switching positions during spoon feeding yesterday to get more food!  I thought this is what you wanted to know.  Would sit at the end, get a spoonful then move two dogs over for more!  I have to admit, I was laughing so hard.

 

HTH,

Karen
