The Lyrics
I thought of this before Alvin posted his self-effacing romp, but his post was what gave me the courage to indulge in a little self-defecation of my own. Thanks, Alvin, for setting me free...
He's just mad about spoofin'
His spoofin's rad as can be
He's-a just bad about proofin'
He's just glad he's not me
They call him Leo Keough
Writes nightly
He scrawls inside his Geo
Bites lightly
He hauls it down to Rio
He's just Vlad the Impaler
Impalin' cad of the site
He's-a just had it with-a failure
A-he's just paddin' his plight
They call him Leo Keough
Writes sprightly
He mauls The Kingston Trio
Quite tritely
He bawls out "Dio mio!"
Porn is never clever nor flies
Sins and atrocity chill
Corn is just a lever that dies
If you want your fives, you must kill
They call him Leo Keough
Writes tightly
He galls his Tio Theo
Rhymes slightly
He palls to Guy DiRito
Old Leo Keough..
Eclectical last stanza
Is gonna leave all of you dazed
Erectical bonanza
Is bound to keep the site police fazed
They call him Leo Keough
Writes brightly
Appalling neo-Leo
Fights spritely
A-falling to his knee-o
Spoofin', yeah
He's just-a mad as a bee
He's-a just-a gadabout a-spoofin'
He's just glad he's not me
They call him Leo Keough
Contritely
A squalid case of B.O.
Unsightly
Befallen by his V.O.
Oh, grim fellow..
Hear him bellow
His spoofin's rad as can be
He's-a just bad about proofin'
He's just glad he's not me
They call him Leo Keough
Writes nightly
He scrawls inside his Geo
Bites lightly
He hauls it down to Rio
He's just Vlad the Impaler
Impalin' cad of the site
He's-a just had it with-a failure
A-he's just paddin' his plight
They call him Leo Keough
Writes sprightly
He mauls The Kingston Trio
Quite tritely
He bawls out "Dio mio!"
Porn is never clever nor flies
Sins and atrocity chill
Corn is just a lever that dies
If you want your fives, you must kill
They call him Leo Keough
Writes tightly
He galls his Tio Theo
Rhymes slightly
He palls to Guy DiRito
Old Leo Keough..
Eclectical last stanza

brilliant...loved it....especially the "eclectical last stanza / erectical bonanza" rhyme
Very good job of finding clever substitutions without repeating any lines. Leo Keough fits really well into this parody - is it your real name?
Thanks Alvin and John. No, Leo Keough is what I would have named my son if I'd have had one.
