The "Sing-Along" Part

And today we sing the songs!  Those songs, so perky, so catchy, so completely impossible to sing in public!  I have training in writing “proper” formal lyrics -- the AABA song, the ballad, the verse-chorus -- thanks to Deborah Brevoort and Gary Gardner, both of whom I trust will not show up to see how completely I’ve disregarded their wise instructions.  We haven’t got time to launch into full songs, so I pack all the gleeful, wild lunacy I can into long single verses.  Unfortunately for you, the listening audience, that is plenty long enough to get songs about war, suicide bombing, and the glory of Hamas stuck in your head.

(Am I bragging?  Maybe a little.  But Lucy co-wrote the melodies, so I’m only half-bragging.)

Below, a picture of the dancing.  I can take no credit for the dancing, but I can assure you that it is very amusing.
