I'm so tired; there is no time to count sheep.
There isn't any time to even relax or sleep.
My head is spinning round and round.
Like a record without any sound.
The world is a real mess.
We need change, I must confess.
I wish we could go back in time.
Beatle vans, groovy and a peace sign.
Less homeless, less hate.
We lived in a world with lots to appreciate.
A time when families all got together.
Where your granny knitted you a beautiful sweater.
When the fun was hanging out at the park.
Drive in theatres in the dark.
Life was filled with hopes and dreams.
Not cleaning up dirty streams.
There is no time to rest, for there is lots to do.
To make our world better for me, and you.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
