Couldn't catch a break

So, of course Shopgirlove had to watch Gerald lying in State. She actually is old enough to remember the man and wanted to write something respectful and sweet. It's what Betty deserved. But then a former Congressman dropped to the floor. The Sea Chanters stopped singing and looked totally alarmed. It was too much! Then the Devil had to go and slip the word sober into what was oddly a really moving tribute. I tried. In honor of the President's widow, I refuse to mention a certain comedy series. I draw the line. Won't do it.
Ooo, somebody just rang the bell! Maybe I have a candygram...
