Ballad – “You’re Lucky; you’re Funny – Phil Rosenthal”
(This poem is written in response to this book that I read.)
A funny man
Who’s lucky he’s funny.
He has a crazy family
And he can make fun of a bunny.
He had many odd jobs,
And even lost a few.
He finally created a hit sitcom
Which was called Everybody Loves Raymond, and the fans’ applause blew
He came from a Jewish family
His dad and mom came from Europe.
They came to America
To have a boy named Phil.
He also wrote this funny show
That everybody loved this guy named Ray,
Ray was a sportswriter
For New York Newsday.
Ray’s parents always barged in;
His brother was jealous of him and touched food to his chin.
It’s lucky that Phil was funny,
Because, Phil’s a funny man, who knew that he was in!

"You're Lucky, You're Funny" Book Review
Hello Fellow Readers,
I finished reading this book last week and loved this book. I recommend that if you read this book, get the audiobook (or download it from Audible.com) and listen to the author, Phil Rosenthal, read his/this book... You also get some attentional comments, from the author, as well as there are about 2-3 speeches that he gives in this book, and you hear the live recording of the speech on the audiobook. Also, if you visit www.youreluckyyourefunny.com and then click on "About Author" you can see a short 5-minute video of Clinton's Final Days in office. It's really neat. I urge you all to read this book, or go to the website for this book and read some excerpts for this book. My next post, to this reading blog,I will post a poem that I wrote in response to this book.
Until next time,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Well, right now I'm reading "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. It is actually a compilation of 7 books by the author. So far I've read "The Magician's Nephew" and "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." They're just about as exciting as the Harry Potter books, but each of these are only about 100 pages long and there are lots of Christian undertones.
It's been awhile, but I remember really liking "Forrest Gump" when I read it my sophomore year of high school. Gump has a very Homer Simpson likeableness to him and you may find it amusing. Mom picked up a copy of the book so some time in the next couple of months I'll be rereading that.
Alright, I hope the suggestions are useful.
