Falling Down on New Jersey
Lyrics Copyright ©1990 Mitchell Burnside Clapp - All Rights Reserved
Music: "Rolling Down on Old Maui" (Traditional)
Used by permission

It's a damn tough life far from home and wife
that we astronauts undergo
And we don't much care when the mission's done
how far the ship did go
But you'll be sad to learn our deorbit burn
won't be made for our tanks are empty
And the fuel line's torn so you'd better warn
all the folks in New Jersey

Chorus:
Falling down on New Jersey, me boys
Falling down on New Jersey
We thought it wise we apologize
to the folks in New Jersey

Well it's widely known that a ship alone
would be burned up and destroyed
But the ship and crew brought with us too
an eleven mile asteroid
So when you've awoken all the folks in Hoboken
and the profs at Princeton too
We'll divulge the fact that the rock's impact
will be at seven thirty two

Chorus

Well now why the shock? Hell it's just a rock
Are we just alarmist fools?
But it has you see potential energy
of roughly ten to the nineteenth joules
With the rock's advance there is Buckley's chance
that the Garden State'll be spared
And soon we'll show if you didn't know
that E is mc squared

Chorus

We will strike a spark that'll toast Newark
and will flatten Perth Amboy
It won't be pretty in Atlantic City
You should shade your eyes in Troy
Even so and yet we have one regret
that we haven't the delta V
To push it forth just a few miles north
to land smack on N Y C

Chorus
Falling down on New Jersey me boys
falling down on New Jersey
We apologize- gee we're sorry guys!
What a drag for New Jersey

Excellent.

This one's a little more commercial -- a Parody of John Denver's Country Roads.

Link

Concrete Road (Seamus Kennedy)

Almost fatal, north New Jersey
Newark Airport. Pulaski skyway.
Pollution's old there, killed off all the trees,
Trash piled up in the mountains, blowin in the breeze.



Chorus:
Concrete Road, take me home to the place I belong,
Jersey City, Bayonne Mama, take me home Concrete Road.
There's more -- visit the link to see...

When I was a kid, we had a metal swingset that rusted in about a year and if you swung too high, one set of legs would come up off the ground. Very safe.

Sure - we open the pool next week, the tomatoes are growing - we'll have a cookout and play on the swings!

We had the same swingset... I could get it rocking back and forth, slam first the front legs into the ground, then the back legs. Eventually, I dug it down into the ground so far that I had to raise the swing height. It busted in half while I was trying to do gymnastics from the top bar. I have scars on both arms where the rusty bolts embedded.

My parents never bought me another swingset...I wonder why?

Ours used to do the same thing - had to move it every summer to a new spot in the backyard. Got my first black eye on that swingset - clobbered by the swing (my reflexes are much better now )

I don't remember it disappearing, but the woods behind my mom's house finally claimed it. A few years ago, when the woods were torn out for a housing development (grrr...) one of the legs resurfaced, but that was it. I wonder what happened to the rest of it.

I had that lifting-leg metal swingset too. I can remember the da-dum, da-DUM! of swinging on it even now.

That's a wonderful thing you've got for your children. We've promised to build our boys a treehouse this summer. In the winter it seemed like a good idea. Now we actually have to do it, it's getting a little less appealing.

My daughter wants a tree house as well - unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your POV) the trees in our yard are at least 50 years old, and all of the good branches are up too high.

I always wanted a tree house. I was a deprived child.

Good lord, I can't get over the size of your back yard! Here in Calgary the lots are teensy, even when the houses are huge. I have lot envy, never mind that incredible swingset! No wonder you wanted to stick with that one. ::jumps on the tire swing::

Sure you can. If the g.d. company had sent the g.d. thing when they were supposed too, those thunderstorms wouldn't have mattered anyway. You should still be furious. Outraged, even. When they finished the installation you should have shot all of them and jumped up and down on their still twitching bodies.

Then, you could have sold all their tools and stuff at a pawn shop. YAY!

Ahh... Jersey Guy's in construction. The mess would have ben **coughcough** cleaned up pretty easily.

Actually, it wasn't the installer's fault - he's a separate contractor. Couldn't deliver what he didn't have and, according to him, the warehouse of this particular swingset company was a little - ahem - sparse.

Anyway, we've got it. I'm filing a complaint with the BBB and writing to the company themselves - not that it'll do any good, but it'll make me feel better. I just have to wait until I've totally settled into my zen self. Too much emotion, and the letter will be full of typos and non-sequitors (??)

Thanks, all - for letting me vent.

even you, james81

ETA We open the pool Monday - can't wait to see what goes wrong with that
