Between the Pauls

Between the Pauls, there were some laughs From some with valued autographs And glimpses of the former staffs Of Saturday Night Live. Some old routines brought up to date, Including some just second-rate, Performed to help to celebrate What’s managed to survive. Paul Simon started with a song To which we all could sing along And with a voice no longer strong, For harmony he’d strive. Sir Paul, the final singing guest, In dapper shirt and jet-black vest, Despite his lessened pipes, impressed, The audience alive. For fifty years of SNL, We’ve watched careers it helped propel And since this wasn’t a farewell, We hope it long may thrive.
