Sing it!!!
Ft. Steilacoom Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!
Oh, no! is right.
We met at the Pavilion in Ft. Steilacoom Park on Friday, July 28. So I think to myself, “There must be some good songs about a park to utilize in this-here bulletin! But then I thought, why not use a bad song instead? While Richard Harris went to #2 on the Billboard 100 in 1968 with “MacArthurs Park”, the lyrics (by the usually reliable Jimmy Webb) are…..well…..let’s say odd, to be kind. We did have cake for the meeting, but fortunately there was no rain, so no melting cake to clean up afterward. Whew! I can’t vouch for any lost recipes.
