impromptu ode to craig ferguson

i wonder some nights if craig ferguson a genius or just presenting words others write so well that it seems like he's rambling on with no script or cue cards or whatever as if his mind is so amused by mostly everything that he can present everything irreverently with a serious smile cuz there's sometimes a quite serious point mixed in the random thoughts kind of like the way i perceive everything and do i do something similar here and if i do, am i writing his script and do you wonder some nights if i am a genius or just presenting words others say so well that it seems like i'm rambling on with no script or cue cards or whatever as if my mind is so amused by mostly everything that i can represent everything irreverently with a serious smile cuz there's sometimes a quite serious point mixed in the random thoughts kind of like the way craid ferguson appeasrs to perceive everything and i wonder some nights if he is a genius or just presenting words others write so well that it seems...


i love it when my head spins like that :)

so, my fellow americans, have you drained your septic tanks lately?... it is essential that you do, you know, for there is no end to the product of your ends and it is unhealthy to keep your products around too close for too long

and then there are all those double entendres... who writes this stuff, anyway?... maybe the internet knows... of course it does and this is what it told me about the people who help make craig so smart and clever and amusing:

ok, so i want to meet this joe strombolli too and the others, yes, these people are very fun to listen to and lucky to have a front face presenter like craig to give their words the flavor they deserve, i say... so that's the way it is in the early middle of the night... and now, an ode to craig ferguson, genius (the show biz)...

craig is so funny
he must make money
just talking, just walking
up on the stage

craig is so silly
i wonder, will he
talk to me, walk with me
give me a page

in his next book
i would like to explore his mind
do more than look
cuz if you just see you are blind

craig is so witty
blows up the kitty
just laughing, and gaffing
on the tv

craig is a genius
that rhymes with penis
laugh with me, gaff with me
obviously

on his next show
i would like to amuse him too
we can let go
cuz the is what geniuses do

and if we went way over your heads
that is alright cuz the truth is
most of you are fast asleep in your beds
while geniuses make the show biz

you may find all this confusing
but we find everything amusing
cuz irreverence is the new sanity
even if you do not agree with me

craig is a fruit cake
in letterman's wake
just staring, appearing
to be loose and unscripted

craig is so brilliant
humor's resilient
we just stare, at him there
cuz he is so gifted

and his next line
i wish i could play a part with him
a friend of mine
making it all seem like just a whim

and if we seem to be over your heads
that is alright cuz truth is
most of you are fast asleep in your beds
while geniuses make the show biz

and now, well, i'm not sure what else to say
maybe he'll write an end to this someday
. . .



so before you cross the street boys and girls, remember to look both ways... with your eyes open... and when you dance, leave your mind behind...

nite nite :)
