The Lyrics

...to commemorate the anniversary of jack ruby shooting lee harvey oswald...off on a vacation...see you all in about a week....hope everyone has a pleasant thanksgiving...
ruby's..afternoon
he must be getting to lee
notion is to slay
his guts he'd splatter, you see
facing that clown that day

stumbling...falls...does lee
the heat jack's drawing brings fear
lee's shot and minds ask why
his angry voice all there hear
explaining oswald must die

a lack of mental health ?
a man out of his mind ?
they toss the key away
as in the cell he climbs
this gent is saying
its his country that he loves
that's why he murdered lee
so we could rise above

ruby's afternoon
ruby's afternoon

ruby's...afternoon
he made no effort to flee
tosses his gun away
it doesn't matter, said he
stating that clown must pay

autumn...sixty-three
report was drawn up, i hear
to try and find out why
their finals choices, i fear...
explain it all with mere lies

Nice alvin. I always enjoy your history lessons
Have a great trip. I think your Thanksgiving will be a little different than mine. It was 12 degrees F here last night.

Funny stuff, and how timely. Here's a Colt .555 for your pocket. Happy Turkey Day! I'm sad that you've only seen snow once in your life. Here in NYC we get an ample amount: usually not too much, sometimes too little, mostly just right. Reportedly we got some flurries yesterday but I didn't see them. My niece goes to college in New England and she said they've gotten snow already.
