Little gems from Charles Osgood.

I'm O.K. you're O.K.
O.K. is what we two are,
But as between the two of us
I'm more O.K. than you are.

I'm O.K. You're O.K.
There's nothing that we lack,
We are both O.K.O.K.O.K
Now please get off my back.

Hail to thee, blithe buzzard,
Bird thou never wuzzard.
Go tell Cronkite, Reasoner, Brinkley
There's big news today in Hinckley.
Folks in Hinckley set their clock
By the coming of the flock.
How can you criticize a culture
That annually greets a vulture?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One robin does not a springtime make
One swallow no summer at all.
But a point one can make
Without fear of mistake:
One lark has brought many a fall.
***********************************

A low - key cat in the White House sat,
A Siamese named Shan,
And from where she sat in this habitat
She could see how the country ran.
Now, it's hard to see how she stays low-key
Observing the things she can,
But we'll all be sad if this cat goes mad,
For the fit will hit the shan.

If plants can feel, as some folks say,
Be glad you're not a plant today.
An animal can move and roam,
Can choose some other place as home.
But if you are a tree or plant,
No matter how you try, you can't.
******************************************

Powerful are those who choose
The items that make up the news.
And yet in spite of all that power,
It's much like singing in the shower.
For it is clear from card and letter
That you all think you'd do it better.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Words are like numbers -
They will and they won't.
Sometimes they add up
And sometimes they don't.
****************************

A statue is a monument
To give someone a boost,
And grateful are the pigeons,
For they have someplace to roost.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There's plenty of it to be had,
And some is good and some is bad,
But it is always worth the price.
I speak, of course, of free advice.
