  1. Or alternatively (but with a serious side, as are most of Mr Dury's compositions):

    Poo Poo in the Prawn:

    I took a sudden notion

    To go down to the ocean

    I'd got my sun-tan lotion

    My flippers and my mask

    In proper distribution

    Of fully-formed ablutions

    Formed an ocean of pollution

    In which I daredn't bask

    Some turds were teeny-tiny

    And some were big and shiny

    But they all fucked up the briney

    In which I dipped my toe

    If you go swimming in the shite-us

    You'll get worse than dermititis

    From the sea of grey detritus

    Where the sewage ebbs and flows

    There's no respite

    From the cess-pit

    No shelter from the pong

    The poor old ocean

    Is full of motions

    Where the hell did we go wrong?

    Like a lamb off to the slaughter

    Pored myself a glass of water

    I failed to spot I'd caught a

    Little creature in my cup

    I was well and truly bolleaux-ed

    From the fires of hell that followed

    Twas the cup of life I'd swallowed

    And it almost did me up

    Something coming

    Through the plumbing

    That should not be there at all

    The glass is brimming

    And things are swimming

    And quite frankly, I'm appalled

    I was a very hungry fella

    I defrosted my paella

    Came down with Salmonella

    Three weeks intensive care

    They failed to send technicians in

    To check the air-conditioning

    Which was unfortunately transmissioning

    A case of Legionnaires

    There's a malaise

    In the mayonnaise

    There's a poo-poo in the prawn

    Where we missed them

    In the system

    Little germs are being born

    There's no respite

    From the cess-pit

    There's no shelter from the pong

    Where the hell did we go wrong?

  2. Or alternatively, by the Goodies:

    Come on everybody

    It's gibbon time

    We're the Goodies

    How do you do?

    We've just been down to the zoo

    We saw a monkey in a cage

    Doing a dance

    That could be the rage

    It's not hard

    So let's all do the funky gibbon

    Ooo, ooo, ooo

    Do, do, do the funky gibbon

    Dogs are always howlin'

    Cats are always yowlin'

    But gibbons only

    Like to sing and dance

    Oop, oop, sh boop

    You'll be like that monkey

    And in a while

    Start to smile

    Gibbon half a chance

    Do, do, do the funky gibbon

    (The funky gibbon)

    We are here to show you how

    Ooo, ooo, ooo

    Ooo, ooo, the funky gibbon

    Ooo, ooo, ooo the funky gibbon

    Gee, the world would be good

    I ?????

    Me, with just a little gibbon tea

    Sha, la, la

    We slap that gibbon

    Oh, feel the rhythm

    And you'll groove

    And dance up to the planet of apes

    Do, do, do the funky gibbon

    We are here to show you how

    Ooo, ooo, ooo

    Ooo, ooo, ooo, the funky gibbon

    (The funky gibbon)

    He's just like you

    So come on and do

    Ooo, ooo, the funky gibbon

    Ooo, ooo, ooo the funky gibbon

    Ooo, ooo, the funky gibbon

    Ooo, ooo, ooo the funky gibbon

    Now everybody get ready

    To do the funky gibbon

    Drop one arms down by your knees

    And the other arm

    Reach up to the trees

    Let your wrist go limp

    Like a bent baboon

    Get ready to sing

    This gibbon's tune

    Will you give me an ooo

    (Ooo)

    Will you give me another ooo

    (Ooo)

    And will you give me an ooo

    (Ooo)

    Now put 'em together

    What've you got

    (Ooo, ooo, ooo)

    Do, do, do the funky gibbon

    We are here to show you how

    Ooo, ooo, ooo

    Ooo, ooo, ooo, the funky gibbon

    (The funky gibbon)

    He's just like you

    So come on and do

    The funky gibbon now

    Ooo, ooo, the funky gibbon

    Ooo, ooo, ooo the funky gibbon

    Ooo, ooo, the funky gibbon

    Ooo, ooo, ooo the funky gibbon

    He promised to buy me

    A bunch of blue gibbons

    To tie up my bonny brown

    Ooo, ooo, the funky gibbon

    The funky gibbon

  3. Have you considered the moral aspect to Freemasonry? Is it right in a so called free society to seek advancement by 'backscratching', irrespective of the personal merits and morals of the owner of the back? Also, consider that it may lead to you being obliged to turn a blind eye to things illegal...

  4. Das, If I had a clue what I was talking about, I probably would.. lol

    It is true indeed that history is written by the victors. I wonder what a book written from the perspective of the whupped would be like? Would it even be recognisable despite it being equally truthful?

    My take on the American War of Independence is pretty accurate though, I reckon. Won't make me many friends though... lol

  5. Batman, to assist you in this potted history:

    Before what was probably more accurately described as a minor civil war in a small portion of what is now known as the USA, certain parts of the continent were under the very loose rule of a mad German named George, who knew nothing of and cared even less about the colonies. He was far more interested in eating pies and India.

    As an aside, it is a fair bet that if guns hadn't have been invented, the Europeans would still have usurped the native Americans, just slower via smallpox, alcohol and Europop...

  6. Gisela, even though you and I come from opposite sides of the wire as such, I do think that we could make a wonderful contribution to world peace... alright, a small one... ok, not much of one at all but it'd be fun to try...

    We do seem to be alone here in thinking that a little understanding of persons other than the US/Israel faction in the middle east could go a long way to solving current problems. I don't mean that in an arrogant way either, just as an observation from one who holds an unfasionable point of view...
