Off all today, so last night we were drinking a few when an epiphany ensconced my vacationing mind.
It came to me that Lewis Carroll's poem Jabberwocky can be sung to the tune of Amazing Grace!!
I hope you enjoy this video that puts a musical spin on my week of banality.
And Knight, once again, you get to you enjoy my midwest accent that you seem to love so much.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!...
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe...
Flesh-Fest 2 has begun, but when not drenched in carnal sweat, I will be around.
Cheers!!

Char: Ha...It just kinda popped into my head. I am gifted that way ; ) Cheers Char!!
carnal sweat ... sisn't I see that at a St. Louis baseball game? What? That was CARDINAL sweat? My bad!
Dana: You always have sweaty jocks on your mind. Cheers Hot Stuff!!
In all honesty....I could not get myself to listen to that little sing along.
Way too slithy, mome and frumios. And I can't believe all of that Tumtum with uffish, tulgey borogoves.
lol amen brother Matt Man, nice rendition.
See what you can do to "why don't you fill me up buttercup".
I hated that poem when I was in school and I still hate it..........
"The frumious Bandersnatch".......sound like sompin you would like!
Peace
Micky: Well then mister, YOU are missin' out on a real gem. Cheers Mick!!
Roger: Ha. Thanks. I think my linking the two is proof positive that my mind has turned to mush. Cheers!!
Odat: Mmmmmmmm, that does sound kinda hot and sexy. Banderrrrsnaaacth. Cheers Odat!!

Hehehehe .... you said Bandersnatch
Bond: Right back atcha Mr. Vin. Cheers!!
Cheesy: I think it is my new favorite word. Cheers Cheesy!!
Back in my drunken slutty days I was called Bandersnatch. Good Times!
Promise me you will sing that at my funeral. It's going in my living will.
Ah yes, I do love that accent. When you sing with a little southern twang I think George Clooney in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
I recently learned you can sing Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan's Island theme song. Just think "Twas Blind but now I see." meets up with "A Three hour tour."
Dianne: It would be my pleasure...er...I mean honor to sing at your funeral Mizz Bandersnatch. Cheers Di!!
Knight: Ha. Thanks. And I am gonna give that Gilligan's Island thing a try. Cheers Knight!!
I'm definitely going to try to work the word "bandersnatch" int a conversation today.
Excellent vocal rendition dude. You're almost as smooth as Sinatra when you sing.
Jay: I think we are all going to bring Bandersnatch into modern usage.
And thanks, but I would have sounded better if I wasn't well on to my way to Shit-Facedville. Cheers Jay!!
Mimsy is my nickname for my daughter ;)
What a coincidence...Lewis Carroll is my nickname for Ryno. ; ) Cheers Starr!!
Seriously?!?
Dude this is getting freaky fridayish :P
Your mind is a strange place to be isn't it Matt-Man :)
Starr: No...Cheers!!
Lu: Ha, yes it is at times. That correlation just kinda wormed it's way in there. Cheers Lu!!
Well good cause that would just be weird :P
Like your mind =)
Starr: Ha. But you wouldn't have it any other way, would ya? Cheers Dear!!
OMG all the dawgs in the neighborhood are outside howlin'
owwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooo
No really, that was nice Matt!
HUGS!!
Leelee: I thought it was a bit moving. I sniffled...of course that could have been pollen. Cheers Cutie!!
Evil: Michael Jackson and Lewis Carroll have quite a bit in common. Your comment fits nicely. Cheers EG!!
I have to admit that I am more than a little scared right now. Oh boy.
Karen: What? I cannot hide my inner Matt-Man. Cheers Karen!!
I don't know, I still prefer last summers top ten hit... "There's a skeeter on my peter". of course we can't forget about #2 "Sunshine on my peter makes it sunburn"
No one but you could be so brilliant! Bravo! Oh, and woot! woot! for Fleshfest2!
Wow. That was truely original. I think you should try some Shakespear to the tune of a beach boys song.
Okay, on second thought it wasn't really original, since both the tune and the words came from elsewhere, but it was unlike anything I've ever heard before.
Al: You have such high brow musical tastes. Cheers!!
Winter: Why thank you much...on both counts. Cheers!!
Marilyn: Shakespeare and the Beach Boys? It has huge possibilities. Cheers Funny Girl!!
the flip side is amazing grace to the tune of House of the Rising Sun...one of my all time faves.
