not sure what that was even about but it was fun to sing along with...5s

I don't think you got the concept of pet names, huh? ;-) 5's

As the recipient of numerous SOTM medals, an immensely talented writer and all round good bloke, I know you'll be OK with me saying this Stu....not one of your best

She gave you the crummy shaft, buffoon?

DKOS, but it's a fun read..

Stu, I think Kristof is right. This is like something I'd write! :-) 555

I love the original and loved your parody! Flows perfect. Nice wording.

LOL! Kristof - yes, well, it did seem at times to be running off the rails, but I wanted to try a syllable-for-syllable one like JD, JAB and alvin - guess I'll leave that field to them - and clearly you're right in your assessment, judging by the other comments - funny, when I started it, I thought it would be great! ;-)

thanks alvin (it's supposed to be about my wife abusing me as she's being attacked by a bull...meh)

thanks Tim - I wish I'd used that line instead, Michael!

thanks AFW - thanks Rick (you don't have to rub it IN!! ;-)

thanks john - I too love the original I have now destroyed :-)

Don't remember the OS, Stu. Hope you never have to take this bull by the horns!

thanks for the read Dee - I know better than to tangle with bulls (unlike my wife)

'fraid I DKTOS here either and don't quite get it. What is "nong"?

Hey, thanks for the shout-out, Stuart! Brilliant job here. Personally, I consider John Barry, Alvin Rhodes, and Guy DiRito (Guy, where are you?) to be my role models for rhyming each syllable of a parody to the corresponding syllable of the OS whenever possible.

My eyebrows were perched somewhere at the top of my scalp throughout this reading. Say whaaaaaa? ( :\ Fun read, anyhow.

thanks JD......

and Red Ant and Luke: Well!....you see, my wife and I are riding our bikes through the countryside, right? and I decide to take a shortcut through a bull's paddock, right? and she follows me, right? - but (and here's the hilarity) I get across fine, but her bike sticks in the mud, right? (hence that "knee-deep in shit" set-up in the first line) - sooooo, the bull starts attacking her bike, okay? so she starts shitting herself, and regarding me (and the advice I'm giving her from the safety of the other side of the paddock) quite unreasonably - she even calls me a "nong" which, Red Ant, is not a term of endearment, but it DOES happen to rhyme (sort of) with "on" which is the third syllable of the OS (ie. Lazing "on" a Sunny afternoon/crazy "nong" you ugly daft baboon) soooo then the bull's horns get stuck in the......

(psst, please, if you're reading this on "Latest Comments" do me a favour and stay away from this unmitigated disaster, okay? thanks...

...now where was I? oh yes, so the bull's horns get stuck in my wife's bike chain, right? so I suggest she slowly lifts her leg (without catching the bull's eye, mind you, which is pretty sensible advice form a "nong") over the bull's head, right?

....wait, let me grab a snack and I'll be right back.....
