_Laurie_ 7 Report post Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) I'm not much of a poet, but here's a little something I wrote... Songfacts has brought us good times and good cheer So let's take a look back At a wonderful year With all the raves and rants We are lucky to have Uncle Joe Without any pants A good time we definitely had And a new found love among Shawna and Brad We have the wise cracks among Sammy and Peaches And Bazooka, with his facts he teaches us We have fun and games, and music news We have rock and roll and Bluesboy Singing the blues Marc on his harley, and RonJon's news We have Old 55 dishing out the clues Soothing words from S2V We just love to read his poetry Diggs always witty and wised Along with our very own Daslied Batman always creating a crazy game You're bound to see Foxy and Katie Sane Crazy Don with his festive avatar Will it be a tree, or a car? Psycho will always have a good word to say along with Earth Angel not too far away Edna with her yummy brownies And Kevin will make us laugh To get rid of our frownies CeeCee and HD are bound to pop the cork What was that JR called me? was it a Dork? So as the clock winds down, we can hear the ticks Let's Rock and Roll to 2006 Happy New Year to All Songfactors and to Carl and to all who made this a wonderful site!

Shawna 1 Report post Posted January 1, 2006 Nice job, Laurie! These are my favorite lines: Diggs always witty and wised Along with our very own Daslied I love it when words are made up to fit the rhyme. And I'm not giving you a hard time - I really do love it! It makes the poem so much more original, I think. It's sort of a Seussian thing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earth-Angel 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2006 Although, I believe it is pronounced "Duz leedt" as opposed to Daslyed...small pickings - it is a fantastic poem and it has everyone in it! There are a number of very good "rhymers", lyricists and poets here on the boards - I wish everyone would post more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A soupscon, I'll wager...with a hint of the gentle punning of Roger McGough and a sprinkle of Neil Innes....topped off with a handful of good old BF... Goodstuff (if a little lengthy and self-indulgent, but hey, it's his birthday). johnny,you surely mean a "soupcon"(with a sedilla under the "c")... As for " the gentle punning of Roger McGough"...what claptrap! Quite apart from the fact that my "rap" (if you look carefully) is remarkably pun-free,(unless you'd care to point one out to me?), does it necessarily follow that "if there were puns, it must be McGough-influenced", like he's the only poet that ever made a pun??! Utterly ludicrous...Same goes for your "sprinkle of Neil Innes". Can't say hand on heart "Never heard of him", but on the other hand, "no idea what he does/did". I'm a child of 1965, johnny dear, a youth of the post-punk-rock generation; much of what went on pre-1976 remains a mystery to me if it wasn't in the charts or in my house... I hadn't really thought of John Cooper Clarke, though reading it back, I can see what you're both getting at. If pushed to perform it publicly, I can do a good line in dour, "northern working class" vocal, albeit lacking JCC's distinctive nasal quality... In my head though,it was definitely more of an "uptempo rap number" (a la Public Enemy) I can hear the beats... Edited January 18, 2006 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyguitar 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 Gosh...you take praise so well...always the mark of a gentleman. I suppose I could have pointed out the stylistic tribute to Pam Ayres woven throughout, rather than 'big up' your talent and compare you to the greats....ok Pam Ayres it is! :happybanana: :happybanana: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
