I love clever lyricists. If you've never listened to Dr. Tom Lehrer, it's a hoot for the clever rhyming:
If you attend a funeral
It is sad to think that sooner-al later those you love will do the same for you
And you may have thought it tragic
Not to mention other adjec-tives to think of all the weeping they will do...
- Dr. Tom Lehrer, "We Will All Go Together When We Go"
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
