Check the boards they're full of chanting, fa la la la la, la la la la.
'Tis the season to stop ranting, fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don me now my flame retardants, fa la la, la la la, la la la...
Protecting me from all ye ardents, fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Art go pillage, fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike a match and burn a village, fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow my new exclusive clique, fa la la, la la la, la la la...
While I tell you your shot is weak, fa la la la la, la la la la.

I think that you might need glasses, fa la la la la, la la la la.
All your entries look like asses, fa la la la la, la la la la.

So don't renew and save us trouble, fa la la, la la la, la la la...
Fade away now on the double, fa la la la la, la la la la.

So my song is done and ended, fa la la la la, la la la la
Now I guess I'll be suspended, fa la la la la, la la la la

Don't be mad I'm only joking, fa la la, la la la, la la la
Here, have some of what I'm toking, fa la la la la... la la... LA.... LAAAAAAAA!!!!

Beautifully done. The second-verse rhyme (retardants/ardents) is inspired. Bravo!

Errr, especially since ardent is an adjective? hehe

You could try ...

"Protecting me from typed bombardments"

... if you want a noun.

Personally, I'm fine with it the way it is -- I'm a fan of stretching the language, especially in the pursuit of humor. Are you familiar with Tom Lehrer's A Christmas Carol (© 1954)?

Lol, between the two poetry threads it sounds like you and Bear have been sharing the same intoxicants. That was great!

Merry Christmas, Ed.

You are something else!

NEVER change!

Not at all what I was expecting from the title, I had been avoiding this, I'm glad I gave in and took a peek. Cracked me up, nicely done K10DGuy! :)

lol very nice:)

HaHa.
After reading Bear's fun effort, I had to come over here to Rant
to see what k10Dguy is up to.

Hilarious, and also fun to be reminded of good ol' Tom Lehrer
and his crazy lyrics. (Eeek, I may still have the original 78
somewhere around the house.)

A Bravo! for you! :)

I think his original pressing of 300 discs (c. 1953) was to a 10" LP (33-1/3 RPM) -- I don't that many songs would fit on a 78.

A Christmas Carol
Words and Music by Tom Lehrer (1954)

Christmas time is here by golly
Disapproval would be folly
Deck the halls with hunks of holly
Fill the cup and don't say "when"
Kill the turkeys, duck and chickens
Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens
Even though the prospect sickens
Brother, here we go again

On Christmas Day you can't get sore
Your fellow man you must adore
There's time to rob him all the more
The other three hundred and sixty-four

Relations, sparing no expense'll
Send some useless old utensil
Or a matching pen and pencil
("Just the thing I need! How nice!")
It doesn't matter how sincere it
Is nor how heartfelt the spirit
Sentiment will not endear it
What's important is the price

Hark, the Herald Tribune sings -- advertising woundrous things
God rest ye merry merchants may you make the Yuletide pay
Angels we have heard on high, tell us to go out and buy!

So let the raucous sleigh-bell jingle
Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle
Driving his reindeer across the sky
Don't stand underneath when they fly by!

There there, I'm sure it'll be ok. Here, I brought you an acetylene torch.

*Art huffs the acetylene*
*sniff*
Thanks. :)

I just had an image of the two of you getting together.

I'm now very, very scared. I might even be scarred for life...

You know, that's kind of funny. If you handed that to my daughter, Becky-Lee SHE might be scarred for life. (she's allergic to aloe... gets hives...)

But thanks, I'll be sure to rub that into my psyche :D

Makes me want to create an ad for Aloe Vera. "Emotional pain? Trauma? Rub this into your psyche!" - but I'm too lazy and minorly itoxibrated.

I'm getting a completely different mental picture of "Rub this into your psyche", but we won't go there.

It's good that you at least get a mental picture. I get none. Apparently my mind stopped transmitting them until I get some sort of converter box.
