Dear Abby, Dear AbbyDear Abby, Dear Abby ... My feet are too long My hair's falling out and my rights are all wrong My friends they all tell me that I've no friends at all Won't you write me a letter, Won't you give me a call Signed Bewildered Bewildered, Bewildered... Chorus: You have no complaint You are what your are and you ain't what you ain't So listen up Buster, and listen up good Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood Dear Abby, Dear Abby... My fountain pen leaks My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed If it weren't so expensive I'd wish I were dead Signed Unhappy Dear Abby' Writer Pauline Phillips Dead at 94 Pauline Phillips, best known as the beloved advice columnist “Dear Abby,” died on Wednesday at age 94. TMZ reports that Pauline was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, but no cause of death was given. Phillips’ daughter Jeanne, who took over the column, told the site, "I have lost my mother, my mentor and my best friend. My mother leaves very big high heels to fill with a legacy of compassion, commitment and positive social change. I will honor her memory every day by continuing this legacy." Pauline founded the syndicated "Dear Abby" column in 1956 under the penname Abigail Van Buren. Her twin sister, Eppie Lederer, had a similar advice series called “Ask Ann Landers.” Eppie died in 2002 after battling bone cancer. http://www.extratv.com/2013/01/17/dear-abby-writer-pauline-phillips-dead-at-94/

1. I thought she (Pauline) had left us years ago...
And apparently, she had. She had a twin too who also ran an advice column, didn't she?
Anyway, thanks for the verse, IChing. And RIP, Dear Abby. |
