Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
On the first parody I ever posted on Amiright ("The Erection of Edmund Fitzgerald"), Adagio's first-ever comment to me was "You have imagination!" Thank you, Adagio, my fellow Moody Blues fan --- so do you! ............ Before this parody of "Ride My See-Saw", I have included a parody of "Departure", a spoken poem that leads-in to "Ride My See-Saw".
(spoken, with a slowly-intensifying siren wailing higher and higher in the background: )
She can
Write
Songs
Well
There's just something
Inside parodies she's touched
The turn of a phrase
Or the rhyme of a line
Or the laughter she'll raise
Without fail every time
(a bit louder, a little higher-pitch: )
Her wonderful power
She discovered
To send a band up
With laughter
And make fun of them
(getting louder, even higher-pitch: )
She'll write a new song
For crowds yearning to sing
(even louder, gritting teeth, still higher-pitch: )
She'll write about bread dough
And hear us laugh-ing
(starting to freak-out: )
She has all these things in her parodies-hoard
(almost screaming: )
And she'll USE them - to FORCE us -
(screaming maniacally: )
To LAUGH - 'til we're SORE! - AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!
( hard-rock electric guitar instrumental )
Write!

Yet no bard's busted yuks right here

Fun with much grace
Take your place
In the Pan-the-on high
Fun
Fun's what you write
Throw some fun in
Every phrase
Every line

Thanks! Don't know what to say, except you are excellent as usual. Me...tongue-tied...lol.
You're welcome, Adagio --- this one's for you! ;-)
DKTOS, but Adagio definitely deserves this tribute!
Heard with the music, this parody really rocks! (and not just because my name is there...it's Johnny's talent)
Well-written praises for an author that amazes! 5s, Johnny.
Thanks, Arwen and Rod, and thanks again Pat!
What a wonderful tribute! Great job Johnny!
Loved the intro!
Thanks, Cookie-man and Merry!
:)
:D
Rockin parody Johnny D... 15 rides on a see-saw for you!! I'm also a major fan of the Moody Blues... so a tribute after this fashion is awesome
Thanks Ash! Adagio is my first, main Moody Blues co-fan on Amiright, so this one was for her!
