"Conductor"
Parody Written by:
Old Man Ribber
The Lyrics
As a very skillful and musical conductor, I believe it to be my sacred duty to follow closely and respect the wishes of any conductor for whom I play. Some are better than others. Against my knowledge and musical instincts, I even follow those of lesser ability (I call them "semi-conductors" behind their backs). Occasionally, however, I have to play for "insulators"... morons who couldn't even conduct electricity! It is of these pathetic individuals that I now write. ;D
Conductor - you can not keep time.
Your stick work is a crime. No more!
Your bad pattern is from Saturn.
The whole band knows you need to go read the score.
Abductor - take this clown away,
And then our group will play quite well.
You can't tell a flute from a drum.
You are such a bum! How can you be so dumb?
Conductor - you smell!
(Conductor - such cacophony!
Did you get your degree online?)
Your Bach's painful. We're disdainful.
Your Beethoven's beer farts! Your Mozart's bovine!
Obstructor - off our podium!
You bring opprobrium. It's true.
Did you get your job through a pimp?
Your arm's way too limp. We'd rather have a chimp.
Conductor - that's you!
For the record, I've NEVER said these things...when the "maestro" could hear me. ;D

The Reviews Are IN!!!!! 555 for Silly Me Symphony # 3. Will this be on your forth coming CD release, " Old Man Ribber: Conducting Himself in a Parody Way."
This one's "in time" for laughs!
Really funny 5's
ROFL remembering some of the no-talents I've had to play under, too!
Beautiful following of the OS rhyme scheme, and extra points for the use of "opprobrium", which you would *never* bring to us! Beat pattern of 4 + 3 + 6 + 2! :D
