Wake Up In A Bathtub

Wake Up In A Bathtub, (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

This Witty person was not in the pilot
Longing for Summers not yet picked
No flower shop, or Christmas Snow
David studied film, not cooking you know

Elanor got pregnant she had to go
Short a roommate and rent to owe
Samantha went to take a bath
Jenny in the kitchen and she went back

To fetch her
To see such a sight
David hung over
Slept in the bathtub all night

They dried him up
And gave him a pink silk robe
Mrs Roper came up to complain
She didn’t want to hear a noisy party again

We all think we know
How it began
We all know the lyrics
But are we real fans?
(end)

I just saw the original pilot that never aired upon the show’s first airing.
Three’s company had John Ritter playing David, not Jack. Joyce Dewitt and Suzan Summers were not in the first pilot. Norman Fell and Audra Lindy did play the original Ropers , but Mr Roper was George, not Stanley.
