    A Thank You Poem For Big Poppa

    (Sung to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies)


    Well, let me tell ya a story, 'boute a man named Sterling,
    Who works in a factory, keeps all the tools a whirling.

    He builds all the Basses, that we all love to play,
    Then one day, says theres got to be a better way.

    BONGO, that is....Thunder in your hands.
    So he loaded up the trucks, and moved the factory.

    So all the basses, guitars, strings and such,
    Are still skillfully being made, where the sun shines so much.

    Down on the head of the C.E.O.,
    That's Sterling Ball for ya,


    Way to go!!

    Just one more alteration. If you change "slowly" to "carefully" or "skillfully", you might just have a classic on your hands.

    Good work, BB.
