Ode To Thread Creep by Harry (originally posted in this thread)

Read a story 'bout a week ago
Feelin lazy the day was slow
'Bout a fellow who was lookin for a song he heard
Couldn't really play it but he knew all the words 

Said 'It's a song bout a girl who went to France
Didn't know where exactly but she took a chance,
Can anyone out there help me figure this out
I'm sure someone can I don't have any doubt 

Chorus:
Thread Creep, Thread Creep, why can't the subject just keep?
If I ask a question to help knowledge expand
Can't you stay with the subject at hand? 

Fellow wrote back 'I went to Paris before
Had a great time couldn't ask for more
Around the Arc de Triumph, lots of traffic congestion
Not really sure if I answered your question

Another one said, 'I was congested last week
Felt really bad, well I could hardly speak
Now I hate to complain, through my nasal congestion
But why ain't this thread about a musical question?!? 

Chorus:
Thread Creep, Thread Creep why can't the subject just keep?
If I ask a question to help knowledge expand
Can't you stay with the subject at hand?
