The Lyrics

Inspired by Pippin's Kiwi workmate...

I’m featured as object
Your MENSA fantasy
Why must your discoursage
Be so damn proxily?
Syllabic en-longing
Sends me into a rage
By pointing out how we both
Concomitantly age

Don’t be, don’t be so
Don’t be verbose to me

Can’t stand, your endless
Highbrow oratory

Your spreadsheet’s named ranges
Are non-contiguous
Nomenclature’s outrageous
Verbage meticulous
Them concat-enations
You discuss vapidly
Bombastic orations
Extemporan’ously

Expand, expand no
Vocabulocity

Demand, more blandness
Of phrasiology

Eschew ob-fuscation
Just promulgate a try
Please don’t say “crustacean”
It makes a crab of I
Such artic-ulations;
Your word profundity;
All those cog-itations;
Reek of pomposity

Disband, disband your
Syntax precocity

Words grand, high-handed
Makes me bellicose-y

Demodand of speech you be...

(Repeat)

Verily, this vichysoisse of verbiage veers most verbose, so I'll simply add that it is my very good pleasure to give you a five, whose Roman numeral is, of course, V.

Are Pippin's workmate's initials JAB, by any chance? (Concatenation-ful tribute last Monday: http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/neildiamond51.shtml cough cough)

You really wore out the dictionary with this one... 5-5-5

TT, Eeeek ! Sorry about that, we both completely missed it. I will have a look now :) For the record, my workmate's intials are KJA !

TT - August 20, 2007 - Report this comment

KJA = Kiwi John A., right?,,,, Delightful Five-dollar-wordplay... uh, was "proxily" supposed to be "prolixy" (play on "prolix)?

Thanks all!

TT - Proxily was Merry having "Dyslexian Typios."

"Disband, disband your Syntax precocity" Nice word play. Two "Don't Stand" parodies in the same day. . .who'd a thunk. Merry and Pippin---it's a shame we can't hear you record more often--your lyrics are always among the best on the site.

One of the most elegantly funny parodies posted recently. Loquaciousness abounds! 555+

AS - August 21, 2007 - Report this comment

I really like KJA, and her prolixity is welcome to me!!

TT - August 21, 2007 - Report this comment

Sounds like the one about the agnostic dyslexic insomniac who stayed up all night wondering whether there really is a Dog.... thanks for clearing that up :)

If you can't pontificate to the beneficiary of your impassioned adulation, what's the significance of existence?
