farewell, dear oprah. farewell.

http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/a-tearful-winfrey-explains-her-departure/?hp

oh oprah. how could you do this to me? how? WHY?

i appreciate everyone's words/calls/texts/posts of support and concern. while the pain of losing the dear oprah (the show) will forever leave a gaping hole in my heart, i can understand her desire to move along- bigger and better things and all that nonsense...

sigh. a support network will be formulated asap. you know- just to share the high points, the low points, and just generally commiserate on the one and only oprah herself. in the meantime, i feel like no time is more fitting than now to post my little ode to the oprah- created just a few short weeks ago when it seemed as though the oprah's reign at 4 PM on ABC would last into infinity.

tear. but enjoy.

These are a Few of My Favorite Things (gone Oprah)
Fridays gone Live and book clubs galore
Networks of angels and big twenty-fours
Remembering your spirit, oh the warmth that it brings
These are a few of my favorite things
The segments on clutter, the segments on schools
The things oh so favorite, when everyone drools
The shows with Doc Oz… oh, the questions we bring
These are a few of my favorite things
Your BFF Gayle, who could want any more?
Your gabs and your laughs and your road trips galore
Oh, God- just remembered.
Oh, how she sings…
Still… these are a few of my favorite things

So, Ms. Winfrey, at the end of the day
You’ve done good, you’ve done great, you’ve done a-oKAY
Number one fan, who knows who will win?
Still, writing of you? That’s my favorite Thing.
The masses you garner, your speeches with might
HELLO. The White House? Now, that’s quite a sight!
Your campaign for Barack and the message he brings
These are (definitely) a few of my favorite things
Your focus on service, on just doing good
Your calls to just give, whatever we could
Through your girls and your school, your dream certainly rings
These are a few of my favorite things
To end, a light note, that couch so divine
Tom Cruise and Denzel and Will Smith- they’re so fine...
Oops. Back to the point, that light that you bring
These are a few of my favorite things
So, Ms. Winfrey, at the end of the day
You’ve done good, you’ve done great, you’ve done a-oKAY
Number one fan, who knows who will win?
Still, writing of you? That’s my favorite Thing.
