As I was walking to the station to go to work, I ran into Murray on the street. He was tossing bits of bread into the river to feed the ducks. That sparked a flood of scenes and songs from Mary Poppins in my head:
"In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.
Find that fun and snap, the job's a game..."
"Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad,
My father gave my nose a tweak and told me I was bad.
One day I learned a word to save my aching nose,
The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes:
Ooooh - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious..."
"Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height..."
"I love to laugh, loud and long and clear."
"Did you hear about the man with a wooden leg called Smith? What was the name of his other leg?"
"...and every task you undertake,
Becomes a piece of cake.
A lark, a spree, it's very clear to see,
That a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down..."
"Don't you love us Mary Poppins?"
"And what would happen to me if I loved all the children I met?"
"Feed the birds, toppins a bag. Toppins, toppins..."
"You know what you get when you feed the birds? FAT BIRDS!"
You know, I could swear that the bird lady in Mary Poppins was also in Home Alone 2.
