Thanks to Google, you will have the name of the singer and lyrics in a matter of minutes. Now, if you happen to be a dinosaur, like myself, maybe you could ask a grandchild to help out. A couple of issues ago, you may have read a few lyrics I changed to a famous Gilbert and Sullivan piece, “I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN MAJOR GENERAL”. While cleaning up the house recently, the following handwritten lyrics surfaced through the ages.
I am the very model of a modern dinosaur. I still remember Sinatra and sometimes even Dinah Shore. I watch or listen to them on vinyl, beta, even DVD. However, emails, for me, somehow still lack old-fashioned basic human chemistry. One still hungers for hand written letters pushed through the front door slot. And phone calls other than “what a deal we’ve got”.
I’ve studied leaders like Eisenhower and George W. The industrial power complex, of course, should never trouble you. I’m very well acquainted too with network deals and entertainment, now better known as news reports. I record them all in my mind and try to find some wit with this poor dull pencil, whatever is left of it. I still remember Sinatra and sometimes even Dinah Shore. Thus, in short, I remain the very model of a very modern dinosaur.
