ode to sons & daughters Sons & Daughters
Was a TV show
It was on ABC
But now it's not anymore
Network executives thought people preferred
According To Jim.

Sons & Daughters
Was written
By a guy named Fred
And also some other guy I think.

Sons & Daughters
Took on American Idol
But apparently people liked crappy singing
And sarcastic, rude British judges who insult people
Better than the "O-face" guy from Office Space.

Sons & Daughters
Made me laugh and cry
Well okay not cry so much
But it was still pretty touching.
Hey, you calling me a sissy?

Sons & Daughters
Was brought to us
By Lorne Michaels I think
But not by the letter C or the number 8.

Sons & Daughters
Had "partially improvised dialog"
Which I think means they made it up on the spot
But it wasn't live or anything
So they could still edit out stuff
If it didn't end up being that funny.

Sons & Daughters
Made me believe again
In the goodness of mankind
And the importance of hard work
And the willingness to take a chance.

Sons & Daughters
We'll miss you,
But hey at least we still have
Hope & Faith.  ¶ monger187 wrote this on 5/16/2006
