The Lyrics
Apologies if the bottom comment runs together. 's seem to disappear on me when I post.
I will rest at 3,
You need not have a care.
I'm cuttin' back on my dreck
And puttin' less up there.
Ain't gonna be
Many, e.g.,
Versions of "Hair."
I might sometimes go as high as
Five takes on one song, but
Mostly I'll be applyin'
Myself to limericks, book,* and "Freaks" smut.
At number 3, I'll hold steady there,
Unless Rick Duncan gets on meth
Or Tong vows, "Fox is fair"--
That's unlikely.
Love number 3,
Of 9 the square.
Lucky number's 3,
It's there on amiright.
I've gotta warn you, though, beware
There is a chance you might
Occasion'ly,
But rarely, see
A "Spell" up there.
(In love, war, and parody, all's fair.)
You need not have a care.
I'm cuttin' back on my dreck
And puttin' less up there.
Ain't gonna be

Mostly I'll be applyin'
Myself to limericks, book,* and "Freaks" smut.
At number 3, I'll hold steady there,
Unless Rick Duncan gets on meth

*Got a little local ink Sunday (excerpt below) for a book my son and I self-published. If for some unfathomable reason anyone would like to purchase a copy, contact me on the messageboard.LISA VORDERBRUEGGEN: TIMES POLITICAL EDITORPolitics in print is a perfect giftOver the course of a year, the desks of messy political columnists all over the nation slowly disappear under a stack of tomes and pesky publicists' letters pleading for reviews. For those who must nail down a gift for that political junkie in the family and are desperate enough to rely on an overtaxed columnist's rundown, here's a sample of what's in the heap:* "What a Zoo! An evolutionary guide to the Beltway bestiary and geopolitical jungle," by the Danville father and son team of John and Sean Barry. The son, now in college, started the book concept in middle school. It's a satirical cartoon and the pair take no prisoners with creatures such as "Incurious George: Simian Simplus" and "Barbered Boxer: Canis Ultraliberalus."

i find it hard to believe you're capable of parody restraint, JAB. ;-) 555
Um, John, isn't 3 the square root, not the square, of 9?
