SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The Song Challenge: Since jeffp has already submitted a wonderful Valentine's Day song for the Mudcat Songbook today, I was stuck for a good challenge. Then, I took my youngest ones to the grocery store and had to again refuse to buy them a certain sugary cereal.
But, and blame it on the Muzak brain-fry, I got an idea! Here 'tis -- write a song using the shapes from the Lucky Charms cereal:
pink hearts, crescent moons, yellow stars, beautiful rainbows, red balloons, green clovers, and fluffy marshmellows!
The Slobberer by Jack the Sailor
(Thc Cobbler by Tommy Makem)
Oh my name is Dick Darby I'm a Slobberer
my age is tween two and three
For breakfast I like my sweet cereal
It's food dyes and starches for me
When I'm sittin down at me breakfast
I looks at me luck lucky charms
The hearts and the moons and the rainbows
But no NO DANCING LEPRECHAUNS
Me Mother she's so very cuddly
Me mother she takes care of me
Me drool and me mucus and diapers
She wipes up my crap and my pee
Early one fine summer morning
A little before the cartoons
She poured milk all over the clovers
And I dipped 'em all up with me spoon
