The Rest of My Life (Embracing Happiness)

I want to be like
Gene Kelly "Singing
In The Rain."
I want to be like
Fred Astaire dancing
with Ginger Rogers.
I want to be like
Humprey Bogart spending
time with Lauren Bacall.
I want to pull the cork
on Barbara Eden's bottle
and "Dream of Jeanne."
But most of all
I want to be in
the arms of Suzie,
embracing happiness
for the rest of
my life.

Note:The original bottle
used in "I Dream of Jeanne"
was a 1964 Jim Beam decanter.

I second that wish, James.

Go for it!
Nice write James.
Reminds me of one of my favorite
CCR songs "Oh Susie Q"
