Day One

Welcome to day one of NaBloPoMo . (That Yoda button is for you Marilyn.) I think an event as auspicious as this needs it's own theme song. So I wrote one. It's to the tune of Turn, Turn, Turn, by the Byrds (link has sound).

Everybody sing along! Don't worry that your co-workers will think you're weird, they already do!

Post, Post, Post

On everything (post, post, post)
Come this November (post, post, post)
And a post for every topic, under heaven

A post on the Pilgrims' persecution,
Soaking your contacts in saline solution,
Why your joining the green revolution,
or confessing you're really a Lilliputian

To everything (post, post, post)
Come this November (post, post, post)
And a time for every topic, under heaven

When you're uncle got drunk at your wedding,
and he threw up the veal with the breading,
passed out on his table setting.
How you vividly imagined his beheading.

On everything (post, post, post)
Come this November (post, post, post)
And a post for every topic, under heaven

Or write a poem of lament
on how all your money you've spent,
and now you can't pay your rent.
You're moving into a circus tent

On everything (post, post, post)
Come this November (post, post, post)
And a post for every topic, under heaven

A post on that sweater you're knitting,
A post on the job you are quitting,
Or how your angst is unremitting,
Come on and post now, I swear its not too late.

Ha! That was great. I'm so absolutely thrilled to be reading and commenting and NOT posting every day this month, I can't tell you. But I'll be around to support the troops. December will be a sad, lonely month in blogland, I bet.

[Amanda]

I give that post a standing ovation!

[Meg]

And THAT'S why I love you.

[Kris]

Awesome, Sheryl. I'm so on the fence if I want to participate or not. Of course, I hate to be left out ... :)

[lizardek]

haha! you're a hoot. :)

[MICHAEL MANNING]

Reminded me of MAD magazine's sing-alongs. Funny and U are linked too!

[boogiemum]

That is soooo good! Love it! I think I am going to have point everyone in your direction in my next post...

[Daisy]

Giggle. I love it!

[Marilyn]

How much do I love the reworking of the Byrds lyrics?? MUCH. And the Yoda logo...I'd expect nothing less of you, my dear. :)

[Susan]

Am I the ONLY one who is pissed that I have that song stuck in my head now?

Apparently, yes.

It's going to be a long month. But fun! Fun. Lots of fun.

[Sam]

You are terribly hilarious. Great job! November is going to be a great month whatwith all the reading opportunities. And Thanksgiving, well, we can't forget about the lure of dressing and sweet potato casserole.

[Glennia]

This totally cracked me up! Glad to see that I'm not alone in this NaBloPoMo madness. Day 2 and I am thinking, "What have I gotten myself into?" I'll come back to your little ditty for inspiration!

[Jonathon]

That song is bound for #1 on the charts. Hysterical.

[DM]

AWESOME! I love that song and now you've given me just one more reason to adore it. Hmm, they do have the Byrds version at karaoke. I wonder how your lyrics would go over. I might have to try it.

[Alyssa]

I love this :-)

*cackle* OMG that was gorgeous!

Ever thought of getting a few friends together and recording that to the karaoke music? I bet you could get it to be the offocial theme song! LOL *wipes tears of laughter from her eyes*

That was priceless, thanks!
