reprise a parody

I first posted my parody of "Witchcraft" back in 2015. Here's the rerun (reread?).  

 

lighten up relax

If I was Frank (and had his band) I would sing, “come blog with me”, or “I’ve got your comment under my blog”. She-who-wonders-why-I-blog loves Frank’s version of "Witchcraft". Here’s my twist on it - Blogcraft.

Those pictures of my hair
That blank whatever stare
That strips my conscience bare
It’s Blogcraft

And I’ve got no defense for it
Ideas are too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do

Cause it’s blogcraft wicked blogcraft
And although I know it’s strictly taboo
When you arouse the words in me
My head says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what you’re leading me to

It’s such an ancient pitch
But one that I’d wouldn’t switch
Cause it’s nicer to bitch with you

(imagine the big band sound here )

Cause it’s blogcraft that crazy blogcraft
And although I know it’s strictly taboo
When you arouse the words in me
My head says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what you’re leading me to

It’s such an ancient pitch
But one that I’d never switch
Cause it’s nicer to bitch with you

I thought of working on "Bloggers in the Night" but I don’t want to go there. Bloggers in the night exchanging comments. Do be do be do ….

parody of rhyme

I thought of updating an old nursery rhyme while in the shower today. The one involving an egg having the unfortunate last name of Dumpty. The poor guy had a thin skin and liked walls.

Then it occurs to me, Trumpty Dumpty. Well duh, that name has been around since the 2016 election. Maybe I subconsciously pulled it from my memory. I don't know.

So I did a quick google on "Trumpty Dumpty". Yeah I was not the first one to put those words together. Also an image search produced many orange-faced eggs.

One of the images lead me to this meme generator site called, imgflip.com where I created the following cartoon.

Here's my updated rhyme:

Trumpty Dumpty raided funds for his wall

Trumpty Dumpty made an impeachable call

Trumpty Dumpty took a big fall


All the GOP pols and the GOP attorneys

Couldn’t Trumpty back together again.

(don't blow the whistle on me but please leave a comment)

 

blogging by a liar

Get back Jojo.
Get back to where you once belonged.

I was just getting back to some old postings. (hey that was a warning and the last old post warning you'll receive) As I dug through my stale digital HTML ramblings, I found this gem from 2015. Here's a revision. (oh if you know Jojo send him over) Please hold your comments until the comment section appears below.

Don't worry about the little flamer.  He is a nice dragon.

Writing is a burning thing
And it doesn’t help me sing
Bound by wild desire
I posted words of fire

I fell into a bloggin ring of fire
I went down, down, down
(but not past the comment section)
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The blogging liar
The blogging liar

The comments can be sweet
Give a facebook like or a tweet
I fell for readers like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild

I fell into a bloggin ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The blogging liar
  It’s hot sauce I’m a liar.

what's that sound

eau, ahh, eau, ahh

That's not the sound of men working on the chain gang.

No, it's the sound of old men trying to move.

working on getting up

Actually my own experience has the sound "shit" added to those other sounds.

Thanks for letting me share that. Maybe after I get comfortable I'll come up with a sanguine post. Meanwhile I'll be practicing on enunciating my grunts and groans.

get out of our lives Donny John

Disclaimer: Now I'm a disclaimer, not a trace of truth in my mind. Perhaps my twisted words have more truth.

I know you're hopin' to find
Someone who's gonna give you piece of mind
When times go bad
When times go rough
Won't you lay me down in tall grass
And let me do my stuff

I'm just second hand news
I'm just second hand news

Second hand news is better than fake news. Get ready, I’m going to bounce from Fleetwood Mac to Carly Simon to Simon and Garfunkel. I found a great parody of a classic song used to satirize Donny John (oh I decided to start using “Donny John” for our can-you-believe-it president - Thank you Tina Fey). 

don't know if I want to try this beer

Before I get to this brilliant piece of satirical work I would like remind you (and myself) that back in the fall of 2015 I based a parody on “You’re So Vain”. Back then I just thought Donny John’s campaign was a PR stunt. Here’s a link to that old post.

Now that (can you believe it?) he hangs out at the White House when he isn’t at one of his resorts I’ve updated a few lines my parody.

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your HAIR strategically dipped below one eye
Your scowl was taut
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself cavort
And ALT RIGHT dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think this NATION is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this NATION is about you
Don't you? Don't you? 

starting the world glowing

But my parodies don’t fly too well without a band and singer. This parody I found on Fakebook has it all - great words, and good singing voices. Check it out:

post of the Phoenix

Sh’Boom sh’boom
Hello, hello again, sh-boom, and hopin’ we meet again.
ya-da-da-da-da-da
Sh’Boom

Blogging could be a dream or a long drawn out frustration. You just need the right choice of words and attitude.

I’m back. Actually maybe I’m back. I never did the post per day routine. I think my average was about 3-4 posts a week. But really does anyone care about posting frequency?

Since my blog didn’t stop in a show of flames and combustion, maybe Phoenix is the wrong myth to use in the title (honestly did you forget the post title already?). Also this blog break has not been that long. Anyway, I would never give you the bird.

what rules?

I’m not sure if this next go around of blogging will be that different than my last. I’ll still be thinking of song lyrics, attempting parodies, and complaining about facebook.

While I’ve been off my blog posting routine, I’ve jotted down a note or two (should writing on a laptop be called jotting?). Notes, ideas, characters on my screen? I don’t know.

The blog from Ipanema - Hey if you send enough money I could travel down to Ipanema and do a post.

The more I think about it perhaps irregular posting is a good thing for blogcraft.
