Whos on first?
Obviously Fuzzy Wuzzy.
I sincerely hope that everyone reading this is familiar with the children’s song Fuzzy Wuzzy.
This is directly from Wikipedia …
"Fuzzy Wuzzy " is a song written in 1944 by Al Hoffman, Milton Drake and Jerry Livingston. Its chorus is a well-known rhyme:
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?
Ok SO……. My intended Aleta and I were… for some unknown reason discussing this song. OH YEAH!! I remember now… its because I cut my hair very low to my scalp… and my hair is very fine so she rubs it and calls me … Fuzzy … well you get the picture…
So today we are driving home from dinner and she brings it up again…. And after we both say each verse she says…. Any more… I said that those arent the words! She says “It seems like there should be the words “Any more” at the end of that so it would (syllabically) balance…. . I retorted… “But then you are suggesting that Fuzzy Wuzzy was at one time hairy… and he wasn’t.”. She said she understood but the end just didn’t seem to fit.
Then as we are turning to go down our street and after a few moments of silence she exclaims… “ If he is fuzzy Wuzzy wouldn’t that imply that he HAD hair?”.. I laughed under my breath and said… Honey.. that’s the WHOLE purpose to the song… that he was titled incorrectly! It all about irony!” She busted out laughing realizing the absurdity of our entire conversation.
I don’t know… he’s on second.

In my defense ~ I never heard of the Fuzzy Wuzzy song! LOL...

There’s a myriad of possibilities! Poor Fuzzy Wuzzy.

BTW, the sunflower reminds me of Jack's Beanstalk. Did you meet any giant on top? It's HUGE!
Also, do you remember warm fuzzies - you gave them to people (they were, like, little cotton balls with googly eyes) to show them you loved them.
HI Vikki ~ Oh good, I'm so glad you see the potetial of the poem ~ I think Greg thought I was silly for the conversation and well, it WAS funny when you think about it..
Hi Sucharita Sarkar ~ awww, you're too sweet! Thank you! I like Greg with his fuzzy wuzzy hair. That's how I met him. He shaved his head for a while and when we started dating it was just starting to come back with the fuzzy hair. He works with chemicals in some hot locations, so for the summertime he cuts his hair back like that. I like it!
HI WeightingGame ~ like your site and thanks for visiting mine! No, I never heard of it until Greg started to sing it. I thought he made it up until he showed it to me online. I never gave out warm fuzzies ~ now that is a cute idea for kids!
Aleta, you say Greg works with chemicals!! maybe fuzzy wuzzy bear worked with chemicals as well(LOL) ;-D
I remember Warm Fuzzys and also Cold Pricklys. I had a picture book about them that I read over and over when I was little. Did I also have a stuffed fur ball that I called a Warm Fuzzy? I'm thinking that I did.
This was fun! -HB
by the way, i'm tagging you :) if you're not reading a book right now, better pick one up soon and turn to page 123... please see my blog for details :) sorry if you've already gotten this tag...
Hi Raffy Jay ~ I’m glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t heard of the nursery rhyme. I delight in the conversation we had, because of the light-heartedness and fun.
Hi Henriette ~ But now I have “fuzzy wuzzy” in my head, repeating the song over and over. Does that ever happen to you? Whenever Greg says that he needs to cut his hair, I’m humming the song now. Lol…
Hi HB ~ Awww, that’s too cute – a stuffed fur ball called a Warm Fuzzy. Childhood memories should be filled with things like that ~ warm fuzzys to bring back the smiles!
Hi Lilly’s Life ~ Love is Wonderful! How true ~ especially when you can enjoy the silly conversations and take pleasure in them. I think we’re well suited too, thanks for saying so!
Hi Tina ~ Actually, he’s not only ok with this kind of thing, but he is the one to start it or at the least, bring it out in me. He’s a happy guy and that makes the world a good place to be. I’m tagged? I’ll have to go look into this!
Hi Kayce ~ Aww, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and it made you smile! I love to share smiles!
