FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes - 06/03/10:
Drawing
*************
Wooden Spoons
One day during cooking class, the teacher, Mrs. Jones, was extolling her secrets
for preparing perfect sauces.
When she ordered us to the stoves to prepare our assignments, she said, "Don't
forget to use wooden spoons."
As I stirred my sauce, I contemplated the physics behind the mystery of the
wooden spoon, and decided it must have something to do with heat conduction.
I approached Mrs. Jones to test my theory.
"Why wooden spoons?" I asked.
"Because," she replied, "if I have to sit here listening to twenty-three metal
spoons banging against metal pots, I'll go nuts."

Don't look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this old world
Will keep on turning
Let's just be glad
We had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
That we're burning
Lay your head,
Upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft, against the window
And make believe you love me,
One more time,
For the good times
I'll get along
You'll find another
And I'll be here
If you should find,
You ever need me
Don't say a word
About tomorrow, or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
When you leave me
Lay your head
Upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times
