Bob Hopkins responding to his brother-in-law, David’s toast. My toast preceeded his, and I’d like to think I softened Bob with more from The Limerick Machine:
Bob could see he’d not been understood
“Orange cake with orange frosting is good!
Mary, don’t blow your lid –
it’s what I loved as a kid
Takes me back to my days in the ‘hood!”
Young Bob’s days in Deerfield were bliss
But an off year his new wife did not miss
Finding one old bad grade
But one comment was made:
“Geez, I thought you were smarter than this.”
There once was a shrink, name of Bob
Who thought he did quite a fine job
‘Til a patient named Daisy
Said, “I’m not stupid, just crazy!
Find someone less discerning to rob!”
