Our University song

The poem before the song...

Staring at the flickering screen
my eyes begin to numb
I go and grab some more caffeine
what have I now done
an office chair at home so plush
tucked in a corner space
just sitting here when came a rush
brought a smile right to my face
its 1 AM this days been long
its time I go to bed
I'll close this out with a new song
that just popped in my head


Our University song

Spores not sparse in my neck of the woods
but who am I to say what makes the goods
sores on a horse would cause remorse
a sparse farce in the marsh, fun of course
but as been said it's all in the name of fun
so many ways to pronounce under the sun
Since there's really no rules I can use cool
and make believe it rhymes with Ken{I'm a fool}

I'd be on my @## quite simply flat
and another thing yes let me say
the cat for some reason just won't play
try as I may and have no doubt
when I kick at it, it moves out of the way

Ahah, its all in the speed of the kick
And you have to be crafty as well
You wait till its fast asleep and then stick
Your boot in, and send it to hell.

Don't know if that's an expression you use
It's a bit of a mystery to me
But sticking the boot in is what aussies do
If they think you are or twee.

I know that sparse
Don't rhyme with horse
But it sure rhymes with
Horses, Pasties yes
Now there's a thought
A source of great delight to me
I cannot get enough of them
They really are a cornish gem
So here's a recipe Carol M (I thought that rhyme was pretty cool)

Chris! You are the best of men
You rhymed me-(Carol m)- with a precious gem!
All Kenny could do, was to rhyme me with barrel
And when I complained, I was rhymed with wheel barrow
Oh how I suffered, what a terrible slur
But then, (‘cos deep down, he’s a bit of a cur)
He rhymed me with sterile, as if I had fur
And had been to the vet (I haven’t, as yet).

But to rhyme me with gem is a pure stroke of genius
I’ve done nothing wrong, at least, nothing heinous
I can see you appreciate my intrinsic worth
(First person to do so, since the day of my birth)
But lets not get morbid, that’s not too productive
In fact, such discussion could be quite destructive
Much better to dream of your pasties instead
(Do you think that the brits are already in bed?)


I’m thinking that here, we have got a hot topic
(I wish I could mention, the worthy Tresgothic-
He rhymes so well, when a topic falls flat
Though he’s not too good at swinging a bat)

I love your Cornish cook named Connie
(But she only rhymes with Sony and Bonnie)
I was surprised to see she doesn’t use carrots
I always thought pies, are a bit like parrots
You have to have colour to give them the look
Of pictures of pasties you can see in a book?

I see with interest her ‘signing off’ line
Is “ Gans oll an colon vy” which would sound just fine
If only I knew, how to pronounce the phrase
Then all my friends, I could daze and amaze.

I assume she mentions the ‘colon’ by chance
And has nothing to do with that merry dance
Our bodies achieve, as they turn all our food
Into stuff that’s essential, to balance our mood
And to keep us all healthy, wealthy and wise….
I have to go now, so bye-bye to you guys

(I'm a little bit addicted to the little blue guy)

I just googled to see, "University Song"
We are number 19, the list is quite long
You are famous (our Kenny) for this curious thread
Although many prefer to put into their heads
Something more interesting, and a little less mad
Some even prefer, to read books that are sad
But, do we care one bit? No, we do not!
We are just having fun, and care not a jot
We chatter and rhyme, all over the place
And sometimes end up, with egg on our face.

So,
If you're feeling the urge to rhyme or to scan
Let your head splurge, I know that you can-
Give it a go, we would like you to join us
The more are the merrier, we think it a plus
When others drop by and say Howdy-do
(I don't know, if anyone says that to you)
But the message is clear
There is nothing to fear
So drop us a line
Any old thing would be fine.

Whoa whoa there Ms Carol
whats this label you bestow
about the words I let flow
you've unleashed this here show
I'm about to lose control
brings a rise to my cholesterol
might need to take some demerol
to ease my pain of the rhyme patrol
I thought my words set you aglow
but you doused them all with petrol
and hit a bit of the belt below
now I stare down at my big toe
and weep to myself of this woe
Just kidding Carol hope you know

Kenny, remember I'm from the South
You know we have that drawl...
That people call South in the mouth.
And drawl rhymes with crawl.

Spores and doors and chores
All these rhyme in Louisianne
As does S'Mores and cores and bores
But if you're bored that wasn't my plan!

I wish I could go on and on and on
Like someone else I know
But my mind goes blank ( oops it's gone!!)
And I find that I'm really very slow.

Off to the land of dreams!!!


Music is a universal language!

Aunt Doty my dear I reckon I know
how y'all let yer werds flow
I was stationed in texas 1978
and thought lousi anna was so great
boudin and crawdads and mardi gra
were just a few of what I saw
if'n I ever git a chance to wander
keep yer eye to the winder it could be me over yonder
was no intent to pick on any cajun accent's
please don't make me sit on the bench
Jackson MS I worked from many a day
out of the three I'd choose hands down LA
was this acceptable can I still play?

Kenny I couldn't let you suffer so long
That would be cruel, and terribly wrong
I was thinking, (I do that when I feed the hen)
But for rhyming, Carol m will rhyme with Ken


Aunt Doty, I don't know who you could mean
This person you know, who goes at full steam
Who goes on, and on, and then on some more
Until the world shouts "Stop! you do nothing but bore!"

Whoever they are, they should give it a break
Go off and make pasties or even a cake
I'm sure I know no-one who fits that description
I have to go now, and fill a prescription.

Thanks to you all my sisters and brothers
I'm learning to take no offense from others
I believe this detour that it did stem
all from a rhyme something bout gem
oh how our minds will grab what we can
and lay down some words without a plan
I believe that person referred to by Doty
was none other than who you call him Kenny
this site has taken over my life
and happy that just ask my wife
no longer does she listen to me
come to think of it never did she
I'm drifting now all over the place
bringing tears not unlike mace
and now that I have cleared my head
I should probably go to bed

Kenny, I don't think that you should fret
She was referring to me, I would put on a bet
You have class, and great restraint
And maybe the halo of some great saint.

Carol my dear you make me smile
lie after lie mile after mile
the stories you tell are grand yet untrue
when it comes to class baby that's you
