I'm reviving a lost limerick with a slight alteration

There was an old man named Ford Thaxton
He wasn't well liked, that's a FACT son
The along came another
Who wasn't his brother
Our dear departed friend , Charles Thaxton



You know, I've gotta say... not too shabby.
Not too shabby at all.

More predictable that you brought him up.
Ya know, I never would have figured you for a COLUMBO fan.

TallGuy said, "And it’s supposed to amuse, not to make any huge political statement..." Then he wrote a good poem.

Please, this thread has a lot of good writing in it. Please, let's not get it shut down. Let's avoid any more political comments. Please.

I wish I didn't have to ' revise' it.

If you mean about Charles, then I agree.
I miss him too.
He was a good guy.

Hello, do we have the FSM equivalent of a Grammy? Cause, I'd like to nominate Tall Guy's "European Union" for it!


Thanks, Jackfu. I’ve never been nominated for a a Grammy before. What d’you think of THAT, The Kinks, Talking Heads, Velvet Underground and the Spice Girls?!

A little Christmas ditty, to the tune of "Blue Christmas" (Hayes/Johnson)

Brew Christmas

I'll have a brew Christmas without you
I'll swill some brews while thinking about you
I’m as lit as the lights on our green Christmas tree
I’ll just be guzzlin’, cuz you're not here with me

And while I sit, here vegetating
I’ll miss your shrill, constant berating
Got a six pack or two, plus a case of Pabst Blue
So, I'll have a brew, brew, brew, brew Christmas

(Interminable instrumental interlude with “oohs, aahs”)

What you done wasn’t fair, but I’m too sloshed to care
So, I'll have a brew, brew, brew, brew Christmas

The Producer’s Song

When I made you go that extra mile
You said my skin was like a crocodile
Just remember if it goes to trial
You belong to me

If I said you were a little tease
And in bed I just ignored your pleas
You’ll recall I gave you 50 Gs
You belong to me

(I’ll be so alone without you
Maybe you’ll be lonesome too
I’m screwed)

In that motel when I went astray
You were on your knees but not to pray
Baby, then you signed an NDA
You belong to me

If you help to keep me out the pen
Keep your mouth shut about way back when
I’ll be back producing films and then
You’ll belong to me

Thanks both. It was inspired by hearing Annie Lennox’s version yesterday afternoon and once the idea occurred to me it wrote itself in about 20 minutes.

Oh! God.
Evening was upon me.
I opened the living room window a bit.
turned off the lights and lite a candle that sat on the coffee table.
Perfect I said.
I then made myself a cup of coffee, went over to the sofa and sat down.
My mind was being entertained by the shadows that danced against the wall.
The coffee was nice and strong. So went to the kitchen to
get myself a nice piece of lemon cake.
I snapped out of comfort by a knock on my apartment door.
Who's there? I asked.
No one answered.
I repeated myself "who's there?"
With great anger, I flung the door open.
In to an empty hallway I looked.
"Whos's there.
It's me, God, the answer came back.
Well if your God Why don't come in and just make yourself at home?
If you must know I already have.
I looked back into the room and observed no one.
God said "I'm here" Were i asked? God "i am everywhere."
I then said to myself this going to be one of those nights.
God said your right. I can read your mind you know.
Oh! I said. So God what do you want? I would think you have a lot to do.
God said no It's been a slow day today. A felt like having a bit of chat. You know one of those one on one things.
I say! talking to darken candle lite room. I would think you would be saving mankind. You know things like that.
God - No, no, no. You got it all wrong. I don't have a thing to do with mankind while he living, only after. That's just to see if he can join me in heaven.
Why do you work that way I inquired?
It's the free will thing.
God - If you must know it goes like this. birth to let us say 5 years you're classified as an innocent. 6year threw 10years you have the warning stage.
11 years threw 15 years you are in the "if your sorry" for something minor no points but a major activity you get full points. with the chance of being forgiven.
16 years till your death everything counts. Then you go to court to see what happens.
I then reached over to have a drink of my coffee. It was stone cold,I could not drink it.
I looked out the window, the sun was as the horizon. The candle was out. Tiny Tim shouted God bless everyone on the tv.
I picked myself off the sofa and went to bed.
not before a had stiff shot of whiskey.

The Remakes song - to the tune of "Meet the Flintstones" (Curtin, Barbera, Hannah)

Remakes

Remakes, we do remakes
They suck big, but we don’t give a s+it
If we clear a profit
Studio will claim that it’s a hit.
Let’s see how long we can milk the ol’ cash cow
We just want butts-in-seats, anyhow.
When you’re doing remakes
It’s a sign you’re out of ideas,
You’re out of ideas
You’re out of ideas now!

Romer go homer
It's Hans' gig it seems
All across the land were heard
The Zimmer haters screams
No Zimmer,.no cry
If only David Arnold scored the Bond flic
No Time to Die
