Frank E Gibbard Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (with inspiration and borrowed elements from the great group "Queen") Life may be a rhapsody Dips into darkest tragedy Ascends to upbeat melody That’s life Life may be a fandango A sweetest slice of mango Yet melodramatic as a tango That’s life Life can be bohemian Plebeian or rich as a Queen’s May be staid or in between That’s life Life may cast you Scaramouche Be judged by all a useless douche At least enjoy and be a louche That's life Life seen by Galileo in silhouetto Brought stars closer to his eye so Was by science thought magnifico As only he could go figaro That's life Life can be gay In every single sort of way We all come as we will and may That’s life Life is a fantasy An operatic panoply Brought to you in bright 3-D That’s life Life really matters Though every illusion shatters As on the edge of Hell one teeters That’s life Mama maybe Mercury or Hell At the tolling of the final knell It's Bismillah's or Beelzebub’s bell to tell Depends on how the wind blows at the end Not even you who gifted life could make amends That's my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyv Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 The parody works, and the poem itself has a lot to say, especially at the very end. An unexpected conclusion.
