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:<\/p>\n

Bob could see he’d not been understood
\n“Orange cake with orange frosting is good!
\nMary, don’t blow your lid –
\nit’s what I loved as a kid
\nTakes me back to my days in the ‘hood!”<\/p>\n

Young Bob’s days in Deerfield were bliss
\nBut an off year his new wife did not miss
\nFinding one old bad grade
\nBut one comment was made:
\n“Geez, I thought you were smarter than this.”<\/p>\n

There once was a shrink, name of Bob
\nWho thought he did quite a fine job
\n‘Til a patient named Daisy
\nSaid, “I’m not stupid, just crazy!
\nFind someone less discerning to rob!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
