Guest Post From Da Chipster
Do you remember the old song “Fox went out on a chilly night?”
I wrote one for Rick.
Ol’ Rick went out on a dusty day,
And warned the coyotes to stay away
He didn’t have time to hang and play
And shoot them in the head-oh!
Dead-oh! Bled-oh!
He didn’t have time to hang and play
And shoot them in the head-oh.
Right outside, on the statehouse lawn,
He ran into his buddy Sean.
They both had all their Kevlar on
And a big fat American flag-oh.
Drag-oh! Scrag-oh!
They both had all their Kevlar on
And a great big American flag-oh.
They rode on down to a border town
And Rick and Sean both had a frown:
The water in the river was down
And illegals were coming over.
Plover! Red-Rover!
The water in the river was down
And illegals were coming over.
“The Rio Grand should be a moat,”
Said Rick, “we oughta get a boat.
We’ll be the baddest guys afloat,
With grenades and a machine gun.
Green gun! Mean gun!
We’ll be the baddest guys afloat ,
With grenades and a machine gun.”
They mounted up, these two brave men,
To answer Texas’ call again,
But the enemies’ age was eight or ten
And there was no one to shoot-oh.
Root-oh! Boot-oh!
Just a bunch of kids, aged eight or ten,
That you’re not allowed to shoot-oh.
And that was Perry’s finest hour:
Making children run and cower.
He always would abuse his power
And it soon got him indicted.
Fighted! Blighted!
His pattern of reckless abuse of power
Has now got him indicted!
All together now …..
(Loud Applause) YOU DA MAN, Chipster!
1I humbly bow to your greatness, o bard.
2Big grin.
3Yes! Pretty awesome poetry.
4I had to listen twice…once with the original words and once with your words. I was ready to dance around the room!
5Awesome, bard!
6Well Said!
7If there was a tip jar here–this would be a big ol’ tip.
8Great beat and easy to dance to. Also, made me laugh.
I give it a 10.
9Perfect! Delicious! Funny as all get-out! More! More!
10Here’s another 10.
Chipster: you de man!!
11And BTW it compares very favorably to my all time favorite Bob Rivers Show youtube, Cheney’s Got a Gun.
12Brilliant!
13A soon-to-be American folk classic! Yee haw, we’ll have to sing it on the day they convict the pRick.
14Well done, sir! Well done!
15Oh, excellent, just excellent! You delighted me beyond words!
16Great one, daChipster! Now we have a tune to match the cartoon image of the cowardly pRick hunting a single cowardly coyote.
Seriously, shoot a lone coyote? Well, yes, guess a coward would. Too bad he was indicted and can’t cruise the Rio Grande. If ever there was a man behind a gun turret who deserved a lightning strike …..
17Chipster, your best yet. I am awed. Humbled. Laughing my *ss off!!!
18Wonderful! And I’m going to send my daughter a link. The Fox was one of her favorite songs when she was a child and she doesn’t have a very high opinion of Governor Perry, so it’s good all round. Thanks!
19My dad and his brothers used to sing the Fox song whenever they got together (and had a few)! We kids loved it. I LOVE THIS!
20daChipster at his best! A low curtsey to you.
21Bravo!
22Fabulous!
23da Chipster – can you hear me clapping all the way from Santa Fe, New Mexico? You are da best!
24Bravissimo!
25Loverly.
