The llama

[Fenris]

The one-l lama,
He's a priest;
The two-l llama,
He's a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn't any
Three-l lllama.

Noooooowwwww......GO!

[stormie]

Are you trying to get rid of us? We Llamala do not approve.

[Fenris]

Round II

We hiked along without care.
Then we ran into a bear!
He was a hairy bear!
He was a scary bear!
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair,

[Borborygmi]

What a funny little bird a frog are
Him ain't got no tail at all hardly
When him walk, him hop
And when him sit, him sit on his tail
But him ain't got no tail at all hardly

[BJMoose]

Ya want Ogden Nash, do ya?

I Yield to My Learned Brother
or
Is There a Candlestick Maker in the House?

The doctor gets you when you're born,
The preacher, when you marry.
And the lawyer lurks with costly clerks
If too much on you carry.
Professional men, they have no cares;
Whatever happens, they get theirs.

You can't say When
To professional men.
For it's always When to they;
They go out and golf
With the big bad wolf
In the most familiar way.
Hard times for them contain no terrors;
Their income springs from human errors.

The noblest lord is ushered in
By a practicing physician.
And the humblest lout is ushered out
By a certified mortician.
And in between, they find their foyers
Alive with summonses from lawyers.

Oh, would my parents long ago
Have memorized this motto!
For then might I, their offspring, buy
A Rolls or an Isotto.
But now I fear I never can,
For I am no professional man.

You can't say When
To professional men,
For it's always When to they;
They were doing fine in '29
And they're doing fine today.
One beacon doth their path illumine,
To wit: to err is always humine.

[3acres]

Yay! I'm a llama again! Wait...

[BJMoose]

I didn't think about this till just now, but Fenris omitted the footnote to the poem he presented:

The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as the three-alarmer. Pooh.

Well done

[BJMoose]

I have a whole book of his stuff. I figured you'd like this one.

Round III

Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again
It's all the same to me
And I think,
It's gonna be alright
Yeah,
The worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shining
Like a red rubber ball

[Random Precision]

You say the hill’s too steep to climb
Chiding
You say you’d like to see me try
Climbing
You pick the place and I’ll choose the time
And I will climb that hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you’ve said today

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless the magistrate turns ’round
Frowning
And who’s the fool who wears the crown?
And go down in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd

[Borborygmi]

I'm eighteen with a bullet
Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it
I'm picked to click now
I'm a son-of-a-gun
So hold it right there little girl, little girl
We're gonna have big fun

I may be an oldie, but I'm a goodie, too
I'll last forever and I'll be good to you, oh, yes I will

I'm eighteen with a bullet
Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it
I'm a super soul, sure shot, yeah
I'm a national breakout
So let me check your play list, mama
Huh, c'mon let's make out

[Zeener Diode]

It's much too groovy a summer's day
To waste running 'round in the city
But here on the sand I can dream away
Or look at the girls in their pretty
It's a turn down day, nothin' on my mind
It's a turn down day and I dig it

[Fenris]

No one’s got number three and although one person kind of came close. No one’s even tried number two.

[Zeener Diode]

I'm not quite familiar with this game, but #3 is Red Rubber Ball by The Cyrkle.

[Fenris]

They were certainly the first people to record it

Woah! boy, that was one big, ugly bear!

[Musicat]

On the shores of Lake Michigan
I bit into a White Fishigan.


-- on a travel postcard from Ogden Nash

[BJMoose]

O misery, misery, mumble and moan!
Someone invented the telephone,
And interrupted a nation's slumbers,
Ringing wrong but similar numbers.

[stormie]

I still suspect motive. In fact, I suspect the function of this whole thread, and particularly round two. Is it hooking up two boxcars and making 'em run right? Or perhaps it is to note that you sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol building here in Washington.

A three alarma is a really big fire.

[Pure]

A peanut sat on a railroad track
His heart was all flutter
Along came the 5:15
Toot, toot peanut butter

Especially given the prompting you gave him in post 7.

All of those are in my Good Tunes Playlist, and my wife hates them.

Interjections! Show excitement! Or emotion! And are generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, or by a comma when the feelings not as strong.

Yeah. But that's par for the course for Clothy.
