Tom SIMON & Jerry GARFUNKEL

________________________________________________________________________________________________


"Tom and Jerry"

Two boys from the borough of Queens
sang together by different
ways and means

Things change in life–
like a boy becoming an uncle–

Immortality became theirs
as  Simon and Garfunkel


Before they were hip
They were neat and nifty
Before the Sixties
There was the Fifties

Their music did crawl
Before it could walk
Before  Sounds of Silence
There was  Baby Talk


In 1966,  Scarborough Fair
was a pearl
In 1957, their big hit was
Hey, School Girl


Art and Paul  talk about this song 
















Before ending this page–
with or without permission
I must refuse
to exclude their profound juxtaposition:
Silent Night, Seven O'clock News
Before hearing any linked GoFather song
  sometimes, I admit, that it hurts
but YOU can always mute
the introductory adverts
