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.

'cos if you are in luck
Then for you he will cook
For free, not for cash, card, nor bank cheque.
