davywavyThe film Calamity Jane contains a song which goes "When you turn to the subject of Harry/ that's a horse from a different safari/ he can box like a fox/ he's a dumb as an ox/ but it's Harry I'm planning to marry". It's amazing how quickly this song structure can be turned to other people and used to laugh at them.
For example, over the weekend my sister made up this charming ditty about myself:
When you turn to the subject of David
He's a lifestyle that's vile and depravéd
He finds rubber-clad goths
Like a lamp attracts moths
And he acts like a monkey, but shave'd
My sister, eh, folks? Isn't she great? She sang this at me and then promptly 'walked into a door'. It's odd how mocking me within arms reach can lead so quickly to 'clumsiness'.
As I'm feeling chirpy and creative today, I'm offering the free David lyrical-mockery service. If you like, I'll try and make up a version of this about you, dear reader. It'd help if I know you at least fairly well - if I don't, telling me stuff about yourself would probably help.
No promises, no guarantees, but it'll pass what I hope will be an idle afternoon.
UPDATE: It seems many of my friends wilfully and with malice aforethought have names that won't rhyme or scan easily. Bah.

Should you take from him booze
Deny pies, steaks and stews
Well, his cries will then louden and louden.
Hmn, not great. But what do you expect from me?

Date: 2004-07-27 03:31 am (UTC)He has ideas based on being a meany
He'd leave all folks bereft
With his economic theft
And for benefits quite obviously teeny.

Date: 2004-07-27 03:32 am (UTC)I hear that in bed she's remarkably bendy
She moves this way and that
And she acts like a cat,
But then, that's just her modus vivendi

When it comes to the subject of borusa
There is something that I need to do, sir
That is give a quick poke,
Remind him he's a great bloke
Since he's often his own worst accuser

Date: 2004-07-27 03:59 am (UTC)I'm nice to him sometimes bi-yearly
But it's all meant in jest
'cos of chums he's the best
Ands I mean all that quite sincerely.

Date: 2004-07-27 05:21 am (UTC)He's got ghosts wraiths and ghouls all in his head.
He dresses up in a sheet
And runs in the street
And fills passers-by and children with great dread.

I'm in racking my brain cell
But there's no way in hell
I can find one more rhyme except burro.

He forced Ireland to join
England, at the battle of the Boyne
And relations have since been quite chilly.

She's got a rubber face
Which moves over the place
But still I'd buy that for a dollar.

She's a lady who cannot be outdone
She may look like an elf
But there's enough of herself
That her company is enough to enthral/stun

When she's holding your arm
Life just feels like a charm
Yo're so proud that you stuck like a peacock.

Date: 2004-07-28 02:15 am (UTC)He's all convinced that he is a zero
If he were confident
With some charm that was meant
Girls would think him like Robert de Niro.
(So get to it).

But if you're in a pinch,
As a friend she won't flinch
Kindly heart she is the proud owner
I must work on my scansion, as has been observed elsewhere.
