Who's the little chatter box
The one with all the curly locks
Who can it be?
It's LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE.
Raise the banner high boys
Show them where we stand

Both near and far away

All that is the news

We're telling the world that if you want
That Dixie flavor in your mouth

The Atlanta Journal covers dixie like the dew
And it's Hail from down in Georgia

What's the word? Jaded? Yeah. Something like that. They call this the age of information. Maybe that's the problem. Too much information. We are incapable of enjoying simpler things from simpler times. We know too much. ;-)

Perhaps we are jaded, but perhaps it's not all bad, for along with the many bad changes have come good ones-medical technology, for example, and more openness- Helen Trent couldn't write about breast cancer or drpression. We still do laugh, just at different things. Margo
