An Ode To 5 Years Of Lou & Liz

Lou and I are celebrating our fifth anniversary of the morning show this month, and our friend Alan Stern wrote a wonderful poem:

2002 was a very good year

It's when all Central Jersey was able to hear the banter of humor and arguments messy Of Mr. Lou Russo and Miss Liz Jeressi

For 5 fun-filled years these 2 would go at it From Lou's manly ideas to Liz's bad habits All morning long they simply retort that Liz eats too much and Lou is too short

They bemoan the details of each other's life so much that they should be husband and wife In the time I've known them I thought they'd be heading straight down the aisle to their Italian Wedding

Liz tries to make Lou understand that a woman can't possibly think like a man All Liz wants are caresses and hugs and Lou can't believe she's so scared of bugs.

Women can empathize with Liz's plight She's always wrong and Lou's always right From 5:30 to 9 what a pickle she's in because when Lou opens his mouth, Liz just can't win!

Lou, on the other hand, never gets harried Except of course when he decides to get married His nuptial record is like an inning of terror: 3 up, 3 down, no runs, no hits, 3 errors.

Lou and Liz will never be honeys But all of us know they really are funny With all of their squawking and all the commotion comes some of the best radio this side of the ocean.

The truth, Lou and Liz, is that everyone knows that you are a pair of radio pros You keep us amused, you're a whole lot of fun when the darkness of night gives way to the sun.

And let's not forget how much money you raise for charitable causes that come your way.

Abused and sick children and the SPCA are much better off because you're here today.

So this morning the Man Club gives you 3 cheers for brightening our mornings for 5 wonderful years From the top of Mount Mandom we ask God to bless the 2 of you with continued health and success.
