This is how I recommend you start your day
fresh squeezed orange juice
and then the phone rings
and oh yes coffee
and an amiable chat with you, mon amie
and sister sweet
who loves this song from the 1940s
sung by Judy Garland and Mel Torme
who was music director of the Judy Garland Show
on CBS in 1963
and later wrote a tell-all
book about what it was like
"The Other Side of the Rainbow"
about which an Amazon customer named Charlie
wrote "I was kind of surprised
at how engaging and well-written this book is"
and then the sun comes out
