STATUS: In a post-Christmas haze. Full belly, relaxed family, a whole day with nothing to do. I’m in love.

FAVE LINKEY-POO RIGHT NOW: Entertainment Weekly came out with their “best of the year” list and I must have been living under a rock to have missed Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog . The first installment is 45 minutes long but it’s worth every moment. Neil Patrick Harris is astounding. The whole thing is hilarious. But still compelling. Uh-maze-ing.

When I was growing up (in the 80s for real–not, like, ironically) Rambo was a big deal. Heck, Sylvester Stallone was a big deal, what with Rocky and Rambo and … well, mostly those two. Throw in the A-Team and G.I. Joe, and the military (or ex-military in the case of Face and B.A. and the gang) made stories about the armed forces downright plentiful.

I say all this because it’s the only possible reason I can think of for penning the following, titled simply, “The Army.”

O the Army is a place to fite! Bang bang! Thee Army! Thee Army! Bang! Try to save pepole. Bang! Bang! Bang! Fite! Fite! Army! Army! That is whare yo fite! Tanks and gys tents and stuff thee Army thee Army. Jeeps and stuff! Bang! Bang! Fite fite fite! Be free! Let freedom ring!
