Forget That!
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Remembering the things, we lost
But O my God at what a cost
Its best to leave the past behind
And look for new things we can find
A little gold under the earth
That God placed there upon our birth
No, not the first, I mean the second
Who’s on third? Now wait a minute!
Back on the field there’s still a play
That you can make to save the day
Dig for the treasure he placed there
And don’t look in your underwear
Forget that!
