Father and Son

Father

It’s not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,
To be calm when you’ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It’s always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

There’s so much you have to go through.

Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them you know not me.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Crab Dip

Leave a reply

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, not miracle whip
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons onions, diced fine
  • 2 tablespoons green bell pepper, diced fine
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 6 ounces crab meat, flaked and picked over for shells

Directions

In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and butter with a mixer until smooth. Sprinkle with the salt and paprika and blend.

Stir in by hand the onion, green bell pepper, mozzarella cheese, and crab until just mixed (stirring it too much will mash up the crab too much).

Spoon into an oven safe chafing dish or casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until bubbly in the middle.

Serve with your favorite dippers (crackers, pita, veggies, etc).
