THE BIG BAD EGG: THE NEW HIT SINGLE!

Hello!

I needed a little pick-me-up today. I’m fed up with being sick. I’m exhausted, I can’t keep any food inside me, and I can’t leave the house.

I read for a while. I had a nap. Then, I did some crochet. Which was nice, but I was restless. Also, I kept being interrupted…

I wanted to do something different. I wanted to do something fun. Something new!

So I did a thing. And no, it’s not like I’m now going to try and build a career in the songwriting business! I simply downloaded a program and set a few of my poems to music. And I had SO MUCH FUN!

I started with Joyride, which is a poem I wrote this week. I asked for Indie music and I got a song that I think is cute!

Then I uploaded my Meanies, which is about, well, mean people! And I giggled my butt off!

But it was when I uploaded The Big Bad Egg, added a chorus, and asked for a rock song what I truly couldn’t stop laughing! I played it over and over and ended up literally crying with laughter. Alone in the house! Yep! It was that funny (to me!). I only wish I had added the chorus after each verse, but I hadn’t done that when I uploaded Meanies, and the program did it anyway. And my Humpty song would have been even funnier with the chorus a couple more times. But it gave me a good tickle nevertheless. Full disclosure: if you play me the off-key recorder version of the Jurassic Park theme song on You Tube, it is highly likely that I will cry with laughter. I am very silly like that! So maybe you won’t find my Humpty song all that hilarious at all. Which is fine.

Here is the original poem:

THE BIG BAD EGG: SCRAMBLED, UNFIT TO SERVE

Humpty-Dumpty has a big head.

Humpty-Dumpty lights powder kegs.

He’s playing with fire surrounded by liars,

While the whole world looks on with dread.

Humpty-Dumpty sits on his wall,

Swagger-tweeting he’s winning it all.

He’s sequestered the army to come to his party,

And most of the country’s appalled.

Humpty-Dumpty’s out of control,

Humpty-Dumpty has selfish goals.

Now many are fuming because nothing’s improving.

How long until Humpty implodes?

And here is the new hit single!

I hope it makes you giggle!

Love
