Quote of the Month

1.26headshot

What makes the gopher leave his hole,
Tremblin’ with fear and fright?
Maybe the gopher’s got a soul,
Waitin’ to see the light.
That’s it! Oh yea, oh yea, that’s it,
The scripture has it writ.
Betcha life that’s it.
. . . .
River it like to flow,
Eagle it like to fly,
Eagle it like to feel its wings against the sky.
Possum it like to run,
Ivy it like to climb,
Bird in the tree and bumble bee
Want freedom in autumn or summer time.

lyric excerpt: “The Eagle and Me”
lyric by Yip Harburg, music by Harold Arlen
introduced by Dooley Wilson in the Broadway musical Bloomer Girl (1944), which opened on Broadway 75 years ago this month (Oct.)
