The Lyrics
Per Johnny D's suggestion, since I was shamefully unable to harness sufficient inner creative resources to come up with a viable birthday parody for Arwen last week, I've decided to parody my own ineptitude...
Ideas;
I couldn't come up with ideas;
Your birthday came and went,
And my poor head was bent in shame
Ideas;
I had only bits of ideas,
But none of them would work,
And I felt like a jerk - just lame!
Ideas;
When they flow I can be quite witty!
When they don't,
well,
I'm left feeling
shitty
Ideas;
My wit is a slave to
Ideas
I-dee-as, I-dee-as, I-deeeeee-as, I-dee-as,
I-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-as
I-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-as, I-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-as,
I-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-as, I-dee-as
When they work,
I feel oh so clever!
;-)
When they don't -
I'm embarrassed forever
:-(
Ideas;
I wish I'd come up with
Ideas
Be they witty, profound, or just absurd -
Id-eeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ahs
I couldn't come up with ideas;
Your birthday came and went,
And my poor head was bent in shame
Ideas;
I had only bits of ideas,
But none of them would work,
And I felt like a jerk - just lame!
Ideas;
When they flow I can be quite witty!
When they don't,
well,
I'm left feeling
shitty
Ideas;
My wit is a slave to
Ideas
I-dee-as, I-dee-as, I-deeeeee-as, I-dee-as,
I-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-as
I-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-as, I-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-as,
I-deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-as, I-dee-as
When they work,
I feel oh so clever!
;-)
When they don't -
I'm embarrassed forever
:-(
Ideas;
I wish I'd come up with
Ideas
Be they witty, profound, or just absurd -
Id-eeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ahs

One of my favourite topics, Leo....self-censure of my inability to overcome writer's block; I've done it a few times. That said, this was grrreat! 555
LOVELY, Leo! Of course I didn't mind at all that you didn't write me a birthday parody. Those tears I cried weren't tears of anger or disappointment. Um...actually they were...but this TOTALLY makes up for it. Bastard. =)
Bravo!! (Leo - check your messageboard mail, I sent you a PM)
Nice work, Leo. I loved this one. 5-5-5.
Yep, they either come in a flash effortlessly, or you labour for hours without a trace - sympathise Leo - 555
Thanks to all for sympathizing! ;-)
Yeah...you more than made up for it. Woo Hoo!
