Saturday in the park I think it was the Fourth of July Saturday in the park I think it was the Fourth of July People dancing, people laughing A man selling ice cream Singing Italian songs Eh Cumpari, ci vo sunari Can you dig it? (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For Saturday Another day in the park I think it was the Fourth of July Another day in the park I think it was the Fourth of July People talking, really smiling A man playing guitar And singing for us all Will you help him change the world Can you dig it? (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For today Slow motion riders fly the colours of the day A bronze man still can tell stories his own way Listen children all is not lost All is not lost, oh no, no Funny days in the park Every day's the Fourth of July Funny days in the park Every day's the Fourth of July People reaching, people touching A real celebration Waiting for us all (Waiting for us all) If we want it, really want it Can you dig it? (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time For the day

C.: I’ll call d.c. and see what he’s up to. I’m off work and I don’t have anything to do. (ring). I’ll let my mind wander while I try to call d.c. and see what he’s up to, since he took today off from work.
“If no two people are exactly alike, and identical twins come from the same egg, how can both statements be true, if the only way distinguish between a pair of identical twins is by their fingerprints? (ring). And, if the world is overpopulated, why are there so many fat people in the world? Wouldn’t it follow that some of those people are starving to death? And what about cats? (ring) There are plenty of fat cats in the world, but many cat haters say that the world is overpopulated with cats! (rii) Oh hi, d.c., what are you doing on this fine Saturday afternoon?
d.: I’m trying to pack to go on vacation.
C.: Oh, right, this is your second honeymoon with Eudora. Where are you two going?
d.: Well, I’ve always wanted to see Alaska, and I’m turning sixty next month. So, Eudora bought tickets for an Alaskan cruise for a Christmas/birthday/Father’s Day gift. I’m really looking forward to it. Oh, and that reminds me, I need your help.
C.: To think of something fun to do today?
d.: No, Cal.E., I’m going to need you to check on the two cats in my house while we’re gone and to handle writing this blog by yourself. Can you do that for me?
C.: Well, the cats will be easy. We speak the same language, so I’ll just tell them where the food is and that will be that. But, with my planning my wedding to Tucker, Tucker Two and working and, hmm, it seems like there was something else I was supposed to be doing, but I can’t remember what else it is that I was going to do today.
d.: IDK, Cal.E., why don’t you just go to a park or something, if you’re looking for something to do?
C.: It’s much too hot for to do that, d.c.
d.: I thought cats liked hot weather.
C.: To some degree, but it’s brutal out there now.
d.: You’re right, Cal.E., It’s 99 degrees in Houston, but only ninety -six in South Louisiana. It’s literally hotter than Houston today!
d.: Okay, Cal.E., I understand that you’re busy, so why don’t you just run your favorite excerpts from some of my manuscripts while I’m away. As far as the food goes, I speak Catonese, so I already told the two cats at my house where to find the food. All I want you to do is to come visit them a few days this week. They get lonely and need someone or something to talk to. And… Cal.E., Aren’t your mom and dad out of town celebrating their wedding anniversary?
C.: Yes, why?
d.: And was the third thing you were supposed to do look after the puppy for your mom and dad?
C.: That sounds familiar, why?
d.: Because she’s in my backyard, digging up my rose bushes!
C.: Oh, GTG.
d.: And I really must finish packing, so I must be going now, too. We’ll see you next time on Cal.E.’s Korner.
