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.

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.
