#266. Prince You're Gone

Prince Philip passed away yesterday at the age of 99.

E-gad!

So I'm watching the early morning news and the entire world is preparing for this massive "41 Gun Salute." Not just in London. But also in Scotland, Wales, even Gibraltar is getting in on the rocking action.

I'm guessing that somewhere in South Florida there's an Orange Prolapse who's totally envious. Likely making preparations for the first ever 45 Gun Salute at his inevitable funeral.

Here's a thought. Maybe the time has finally come to do away with these asinine demonstrations of gunshots and canon fodder. Wouldn't it be interesting if, say former President Jimmy Carter, requested an extended moment of silence instead of the seemingly endless barrage of ear-ringing bangs and loud explosions. He could make the following statement, "I'd like to see my passing commemorated with a moment of contemplation and introspection, out of respect for the victims of gun violence. I will be forgoing the traditional presidential gun salute in hopes that other world leaders will give serious thought to finally ending this imbecilic relic of the past, i.e., mankind's glamorization of warfare and conventional weaponry."

Who knows? Maybe someone out there (outside the United States of course) would observe an individual demonstrating actual leadership skills and act accordingly.

The nights are gettin' strange
Since you're gone
Well, nothing's makin' any sense

Since you're gone
I stumbled in the shade
Since you're gone
Everything's in perfect tense, well

I can't help it
When you fall apart
And I can't help it
Guess you better start

You're so treacherous
When it comes, to tenderness
(Since you're gone)

I can't help it
Everything's a mess

You're so treacherous
Oh, where's that tenderness?

Since you're gone

Well, never feel sedate

Well, the moonlight ain't so great

I've thrown it all away (since you're gone)
