same old song and dance

A little change of pace, with apologies to Sammy Cahn and Johnny Van Heusen from whom I swiped the title; dedicated to Rockie Coppolella for the fun of it.

 

 

gnus in twos waltz
in overshoes
a puma from yuma
with a nice sense of huma
gets the guinea hen high
on gin again

swine dine
mute harlequin woos
his columbine
donkeys do like
monkeys do
apes gape

auks gawk
aardvarks sweet talk meadowlarks
loons croon
an e-flat major mozart tune

bees sneeze
portuguese tease in bvdees
bats nap kool kats rap
ticks tock
roll and rock

katydids don’t
whippoorwils won’t
pelicans can’t
cock-a-doodles do
terns in turn
are taciturn

jellies jam
thank you ma’am
cupid’s dart stings my heart
with loving’s playful caterwaul
moths ball

well there is one thing for certain, this little jabberwocky, certainly would be the pride of any, talkie -- Cahn and Van Heusen, could use your lyrics and they'd need no introducin -- this is delightfully marvelous Gene -- what kind of creative pills did you say you were taking -- as John Flanagan put it, "Let's do it" -- such a great song my dear friend -- much peace and love -- Jon Michael

I feel like a french snoot! lol
or did my muse read into the accent of these lines
tugging & pulling my senses within the boundaries of imagination?
either way it was quite delitful
Hummmm I ponder upon the dance & enjoyed every line

Absolutely charming--what clever interior rhymes. This needs cocktail napkin illustrations, gay and naughty. (())

You made me smile... Quite a crazy bunch of tongue twisting words. Reminds me of the rhythm of the Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom books. (Children's stories...)

Same old song and dance? I don't think so! You've put a new twist to it! Fun write, Gene.

Same old song and dance as I am sure Rockie will take kindly to this one Gene. A fine ditty I might add.

Gene,
The title may be Sammy's and Johnny's but Cole Porter eat your heart out! I think I can sing this (in private of course, I'll spare you the torture) to Let's do it...or maybe not, it's so much better...I'll just play Mozart's concertante in the background while I read again and again. Splendid!
John

PS: mothe ball? May God forgive you!
