Utter Nonsense

It came as a surprise to me that the Nat King Cole hit, L-O-V-E, was written by Billy Crystal's Uncle, Milt Gabler, and Bert Kaempfert, whose name I first heard on the lips of a Polish exchange student back in the 1970's. They also wrote Danke Schoen. And what brought L-O-V-E to mind was David Letterman, and what brought David Letterman to mind was—oh, this is getting us nowhere. The point is, I thought that D-A-V-E had possibilities. And here's one of 'em:

“D” is Hello Deli’s plat du jour;
“A” is Sirajul and Mujibur;
“V” is Stupid Pet Tricks—
Dogs that do obstetrics—
“E”—when stars assist
To put across a Top Ten List for
Dave—he's why I stole a T.V. set.
Dave—he's why I’m still not reading yet.
Yet I wouldn’t swap him;
No one else can hope to top him—
With balsamic vinaigrette.

I told you it was utter nonsense.
