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.
