OFFERINGS
In my infancy
My offerings were limited
But I brought you wonder
Introduced you
To Sid, Ed and Uncle Miltie
We had a few good laughs
At no one's expense
And don't forget Elvis
Maybe my noisy cousin
Had dibs on his voice
But who brought you
Those crazy hips?
In my adolescence
I gave you growing pains
Bringing Camelot to an end
With a little boy's salute
And running soldiers
Through your living room
Until even Walter had enough
But the wonder came back
With a small step
On the Sea of Tranquility
In my middle years
Almost drowned out by disco
I had little to show you
But an armchair bigot
And a sweater president
With a bad case of malaise
That is until Belushi and company
Raised hell on Saturday Nights
But now in my dotage
I've made a comeback
Amidst the dueling lawyers
The squabling Senators
The raving lunatics
Of every persuasion
I offer you everything
Your heart desires
Twenty-four hours a day
Everything but the wonder
