Limerick Truck (Limerick-Off Monday) and a Halloween Limerick

.


Good driver, bad driver
 
A man who was driving a truck
In the gooey mud he was stuck
He called for his dear wife
She said not on his life
Stuck in muck, he was out of luck
 

And,
 
A Halloween Limerick
 
Ghosts and goblins, gorillas too
Oh dear oh dear, what will we do?
You call 911
Tell what's being done
Cheers!  Happy Halloween to you!

Lou Reed; a tribute

 

Songs with words I could never write.
Songs written and sung by Lou Reed.

Punk-poet of Rock'n Roll they called him. Singer of the seventies,
many called it "just noise."

But gradually they all, we all, learned a new vocabulary. That was like Lee would say,
"truly, truly a sin."

Things have changed, we have changed.
Like a lie that isn't malicious nor does it 
hurt a soul,
maybe it isn't a sin?

.

Things have changed, we have changed.
Words of .s e x .and. d r u g s. are in all the songs of the 2000's now. 
Our generation's 1960's and 70's were just a bit ahead of their time. But that made it what it was, a new Bible for song.

So let's all hear it for Lou Reed.
For you, Lou, we will

"Take a Ride on the Wild Side."

                     - - - - - -

 

...."Walk On The Wild Side"

Holly came from Miami, Florida

Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her legs and then he was a she

She says, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

She said, "Hey, honey

Take a walk on the wild side"

Candy came from out on the Island

In the back room she was everybody's darling

But she never lost her head

Even when she was giving head

She says, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

Said, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

And the colored girls go

"Doo do doo do doo do do doo ..."

Little Joe never once gave it away

Everybody had to pay and pay

A hussle here and a hussle there

New York City's the place

Where they said, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

I said, "Hey, Joe

Take a walk on the wild side"

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets

Looking for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the Apollo

You should've seen them go, go, go

They said, "Hey, sugar

Take a walk on the wild side"

I said, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away

Thought she was James Dean for a day

Then I guess she had to crash

Valium would have helped that bash

Said, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

I said, "Hey, honey

Take a walk on the wild side"

And the colored girls say

"Doo do doo do doo do do doo ..."
