Vaccine Champions

Vaccine Champions

(to the tune of “We Are the Champions” as recorded by Queen)

The pandemic arrived
it changed our lives
Webex and masks
No more hugs goodbye

Thought it’d last just weeks
but dragged on for months
we monitored our trend lines for some hope
finally got some

It took four champions, Val’s one
Jo Ree, Melissa and Adam
(to create a) best practice vaccine
at Sky Ridge, you see
They begged and borrowed
from near and from far, oh
Raised the bar

A mere thank you
that wouldn’t do
enlisted a pro
to truly show you

We truly thank you
We know it was rough
But you shined bright like the stars that you are
And made us proud of…

You, you’re the champions, my friends
And you’ll vaccinate til Covid ends
You are the champions, you are the champions
At best practice vaccines,
yes, you are the champions
of Sky Ridge

Song for My Dad

Song for My Dad

“Thank You”

(to the tune of “Thank You” as recorded by Dido)

Building a business with no startup
capital is hard
Fortunately I was born for this
but cash still plays a part
my dad pitches in, he is not rich
but he believes in my art
it means the world, I'm humbled by it
forever in debt

Starving artists, we face obstacles
that's understated
tumors, homelessness, unemployment
“worthless” English majors

this old man's been there through thick and thin
braggin' to strangers
that his son makes a good hooker,
a red-haired her

I want to thank you
for being the best damn dad of my life
('cause there were so many other candidates;)
Oh just to be your son
is getting the best deal of my life

Keeps me fed with his salsa
apple butter, pickles too
Chauffeurs me when my car breaks
even when I'm dressed like a dude
have you seen my new website?
My dad bartered for it with his wife's son
He's a gem and a gentleman

I want to thank you
for being the best damn dad in my life
(though the imaginary one is gaining on ya)
I love bein' your son
despite Trans-Siberian Orchestra, you like;)
