Round 4
Round 4: BADVENT SONGS! Write two!

Write new words for a Christmas carol or holiday song, just as I did for “We Three Kings” in the sample “We 3 Stinks.” Provide 1-3 verses, and mention the title of the song as sung to the tune of…below the poem title. Example:

We 3 Stinks

sung to the tune of “We Three Kings”

We 3 Stinks of BADventing are
Bound to leave our butt cheeks ajar:
Gaswords bleeding, ill proceeding
Guide us to thy BAD 1-STAR!!!!!

Round 4 has these two prompts, built from the one, so you will be using TWO SONGS and posting TWO POEMS in one REPLY to the Round 4 prompt. To win, you must have two poems and be awful in both. Post by noon, WDC time, on Thursday, December 13, a fine unlucky number following the uncanny 12-12-12 prompt.

Round 4 topic 1: Venting, ranting, or complaining about something.

Round 4 topic 2: Sickness or bodily dysfunction. Having just come through food poisoning, I’ll be right there with you.

Katya’s Samples:

Revenge of the Herds

sung to the tune of “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer”

I hate the local drivers
Never put their blinkers on
How do you know they’re turning?
At least they side swipe (not head on)

I hate the local drivers
Always it’s a rolling stop
What if you’re in the crosswalk?
You have really got to hop

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
I was driving home
Up ahead eight blinkers on!
Stamping hooves and now this song!

Now I’m a reindeer driver
In a rather cold locale
But I’ll be back with bells on
And a herd of reindeer brawn

The Street Food Song*

sung to the tune of “The Christmas Song”(forgive me Nat King Cole, Mel Torme, etc!)

Don’t eat street food from a roasting fire
Chestnuts aren’t a proper meal
If you eat that food from the street
You will not like the way you feel

You’ll know that poooooo is on its way
And on its way again and then again all day
And you’ll dehydrate fast and fade away
And while the SLAM goes on you’ll lie in bed and pray

And so I’m offering this simple rule
Don’t eat hot dogs from a cart
Although it’s been warned many times, many ways…
Don’t eat street food…[gurgle, fftt, wet fart]

*I did not actually eat any street food. It was probably leftovers in my own fridge. But that’s another song.
