Can’t find any web reference to my favorite S.S. song of all time:

The DeeJays across the country
Say that the songs are just too long.
So I set down and I wrote myself
This 27 second song.

My grandmother was a grade school teacher.  She detested The Giving Tree.

I got the message of altruism from the book, I guess, with a side order of guilt for sapping the very life out of my parents. 

The bigger lesson came from my grandma… “That boy’s a damn psychopath, and that tree’s a pushover.  They deserve what they got.”
