Winner of Third Prize in the annual Poetry Slam at the Spotlight Club, Lancaster, June 2003.

I sang 3 parodies. More Pelvis Farcely

 

Two-hundred and twelve per cent per annum inflation... or your money's worth a third what it was last year

Tune: John Denver's "Country Roads"

 

Almost heaven, South Rhodesia

ZANU PF, Zambesi River,

Life is cheap there, cheaper than poached ivory

Farmers on their tractors, drinkin' in Wankie

 

Chorus:

Cecil Rhodes, take me home,

To the place, I belong

West Zimbabwe, mountain coffee

Take me home, Cecil Rhodes

 

largest bank note 500 dollars

pint of beer six hund' fifty

Beer is dear there, dearer than largest bank note

Robert Mugabe he won't get my vote

 

Chorus

 

Roll of 1 ply toilet paper

costs 1000 Zimbabwe dollars

seventy two sheets in one roll of paper

save 280 dollars use 72 10 dollar bills

 

Chorus

 

Background note: there is a town in Zimbabwe called Wankie

Thank you Roger... and keep well

Two songs by Pelvis Farcely

I introduced these by reminding the audience that no Spotlight Poetry Slam could be complete without considering Elvis's last known movements, that the drugs found on the bathroom floor were laxatives, and that if George 'Adolf' Bush and Tony 'Benito' Blair said Elvis is dead, then truly the man is alive and pumping gas in Tallahassee [click here to download a PDF about how Dubya's grandfathers bankrolled the Nazis... allegedly]. Lewis Grizzard, the humorist, inspired these 'songs'.

Tune: "Always on my mind"

 

Maybe I took much too long seated on the john

Maybe I ate my burgers overcooked and plain wrong

barbie sauce was just the dog's bollox

you know they tasted divine

 

Burger bit undigested

Burger bit undigested

 

Maybe I didn't chew you quite as hard as I should have

Maybe I didn't masticate as much as I could have

Freedom Fries were swallowed much too big

I just never took my time

 

Burger bit undigested

Burger bit undigested

****

 

It took me a good few seconds to recall this tune. I thought I had blown it.

Tune: "Lonesome tonight"

 

Are you bound up tonight,

with a bowel full of shite?

Will it ever let you let off a fart?

Does your memory stray with the force of the strain

and induce a seizure of your heart

Does the bowl in the toilet seem empty and bare

Does the strain in your ass make you pull out your hair

Is your heart filled with pain, as your ass will not drain

Tell me dear, are you bound up tonight?
