Tying Up Loose Ends

As I am tying up some loose ends this week, I will continue with the re-runs until Stream of Consciousness Friday. Tension between the Palestinians and Israelis are in the news again And it reminded me of a post I wrote back on July 27, 2006 when the Israelis went after Hezbollah in Lebanon. Enjoy and Cheers!!

As Tom Lehrer, is one of my faves, I have used the melody of his wonderful song, “The Vatican Rag” to accompany a summation of the current Israeli/Lebanese conflict. Hopefully, it will offer hope to some, and give a bit of a ragtime “feel good” to the whole event…Ladies and Gentlemen:The Lebanese Rag

Missiles raining, choppers hover
Don’t be ashamed, just duck and cover
Blame it on Hasan Nasrallah,
And Hezbollah, Hezbollah, Hezbollah!

Israeli soldiers, they were kidnapped
Now you’re sitting in a death trap
Gee you better hollah
“Save my ass Allah!!”
Doin' the Lebanese Rag.

The Jews are pissed and want to smite you
They think “By God” they’ve got the right to
Tanks are rolling all the night thru
The IDF just bombed a news crew.
Lock your door, there’s death among us
Drink the tea and eat your hummus
Two, four, six, eight,Watch Beirut disentigrate!

Missiles raining, choppers hover
Don’t be ashamed, just duck and cover
Blame it on Hasan Nasrallah,
And Hezbollah, Hezbollah, Hezbollah!

Try a bagel, it’s not voodoo
When attacked; do like the Jew do
Say, "I love Moses,
Gee, it's good to knows ya."
Then you’ll be free again, next to the sea again
Doin' the Lebanese Rag.

And Now…Our Moment of Hinn…
