Leave it to me

If you can't get the static out
Then learn to live with the cling
There's just not enough time
If you're going to get it done
Daytime is for thinking of how
Nighttime is for thinking of who
The 'when' will take care of itself
Concern me not with a frivolous 'why'

You don't get this at Tech Schools
Its just something you 'pick up'
The press keeps the public occupied with
theories and conjecture
Don't you know they act and write
just as though they were your friend?
They give you space and fill you in
While its you who fills in the blanks
Was it a woman or a man?
And what about a 'calling card'?
You must leave one of those with Ida
Blank of course...

Just leave it to me
I'll get back to you

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Kind Sir,
I love your intelligent wit.  You amuse me to no end. Sage advice you give. And bless Ida's heart while we're at it. ~L

Some wise advice coming from top level intelligence . . .
