Tonight, we’re going to look at the proton nucleus as represented in the nano biological table.  Or is that the chemical table or is it . . . ?

Give me a second here.  I can’t find my place . . .
I’m usually prepared, as you know, but, hold on . . .

Now, where are my glasses . . .

Let’s begin again

Once upon a time
Long, long, ago
I could stay harder longer
Run faster
Jump higher

I didn’t forget things as much

Once upon a time
Long, long, ago
In a place not far from here

I raised a family
I paid my taxes

I cared what you thought about me
I would fix my own car
Or at least try

I wore glasses that were just plain glass, you know,
Not prescriptions lens – because they looked good and I looked good in them

I used to run with some of the show biz crowds
And I used to keep up
I live in Los Angeles and
Took a 4 week cruise to learn Spanish
I could party for 3 days straight stopping periodically
To make a run for more brie, fruit and champagne

Once upon a time
Long, long, ago
I went to nudist colonies
For the health benefits
I would entertain groupies
when I went on tour

Don’t put idiotic ideas in the mind of an idiot
