We Didn't Start the Madness*


We Didn't Start the Madness*
(A Recap of 2007-2008)

Georgia peach, clerkships teach, barbecue, Atlanta Zoo,
Stone Mountain, Olympic fountain, trouble on the MARTA

Church service, basketball, Aquarium, southern drawl,
Varsity, loved Dixie, but see ya'll later

Arizona here we come, East Valley, where Dave's from,
Bought a house, Jennings Strouss, travel to Ukraine

New job, lawyer snob, crazy boys, breaking toys,
Vegas Bowl, cruise control, Odysseys rock

We didn't start the madness! It’s just part of life to have to deal with strife.
We didn't start the madness! Though it makes us stronger, can it last much longer?

Flood the home, wreck the car, Elders Quorum, canning jars,
Rat race, no space, claustrophobia

Holme Roberts, pre-school, home improvement, stomach flu,
Tile the floor, Nathan's snore, 40 mile commute

Mom and Dad, home from mish, clean like mad, "nine months Trish?"
Advocate, celebrate, Liberty is born

No sleep, laundry heaps, Thomas trains, growing pains,
Paint the house, Mickey Mouse, Tim threw up again?!

We didn't start the madness! It’s just part of life to have to deal with strife.
We didn't start the madness! Though it makes us stronger, can we last much longer?

Litigator, move the neighbors, Denver trips, read my lips,
Help the ward, kids ignored, San Diego beach house,

Food storage, Halloween, save marriage in between (Prop 102)
Pass Prop 8, running late, heaven help our country

Clean out home, Move again, Thanksgiving, yard to tend,
Billing time, nursery rhymes, can't we keep a babysitter?

Home teaching, file that brief, kids screeching, pain relief
Compromise, O be wise, what more can we say.

We didn't start the madness! It’s just part of life to have to deal with strife.
We didn't start the madness! Though it makes us stronger, we must last much longer!

Stay tuned for streaming performance...

*A remake of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
