HAVE YOU A BURNING AMBITION?
Have you a buring ambition,
Or perhaps a goal to achieve.?
I have a buring ambition,
What it is you wouldn't believe.
Some four years ago,
I went to LA, and met dear Arlee Bird,
It was a lovely day to remember,
Not so totally absurd.
He took us to Hollywood,
We went by subway no less.
We passed quickly through one station,
I was totally gobsmacked I confess.
You see I thought this place was fictional
In a well known song.
But seeing the station,
I guess I was so very wrong.
My burning ambition
Is to visit this place (no, I'm not insane)
The place is MacArthur Park
And leave a cake out in the rain.

Hopefully a visit will be had
ReplyDeleteI hope so also Pat.

How wonderful you got to see the real MacArthur Park.
ReplyDeleteYears ago when we visited London, I HAD to go see Regent's Park. It's nothing special, but I'd read 101 Dalmations dozens of times and that's the park the dogs always walked through - and I wanted to see it.
Pleaased you got to Regent's Park Diane. Thanks for the comment.

How very cool that Lee took you around. There are some places I want to see sometime.

I hope you achieve your ambition one day Yvonne, though I must confess I never did understand the words of the song :(
ReplyDeleteI never understood the song either only about a cake in the rain. Thanks for the comment Tigermouse.

Visited Hollywood, Disney and Universal Studios in LA. Went to Las Vegas in the north Capistrano and Sea World at San Diego in the south. Must try to go see this McA Park next time! Thanks Yvonne!
