50th Reunion - Miriam Burstein's Song
Homage to Miriam Burstein:  "The Continental".

We'd like to tell you
About Miss Burstein.
On her beliefs she firmly stands.
She's so convincing, but that's not clinching
For there is always "On the other hand..."
Our dear advisor, you're all the wiser
For knowing words like "meshuggena" and "schlepp."
In translation, your creation
Simply means that we are not "hep."
Required reading she isn't heeding,
That's not what she's likely gonna stress.
But no one's squawking, we say "Keep talking."
The syllabus is anybody's guess.
It may amuse you, we hate to lose you.
You've taught us much we know of love and hate.
You're educating and fascinating.
A little unconventional, but great.

Spoken:  "A little unconventional"!? That's like being a little pregnant!
