The Lyrics
The Book of Kells you view,
And it looks fine.
But there is another book too,
Also Irish.
I am aspirish
To attempt to land in
This tome of renown. . .
Take shot at commandin'
A spot for the most tunes written down. . .
. . .Take-offs on "Spell" they'll view;
I'll drop a line
Sometime.
In going to
Attempt to
Ask, "Would you
Take my slew.
I hope "wow!"
They will declare
'bout these parodies
Then say, "Yes!" Now. . .
. . .with spirit,
I'll try to sell this slew.
It's long shot time.
And it looks fine.
But there is another book too,
Also Irish.
I am aspirish
To attempt to land in
This tome of renown. . .
Take shot at commandin'
A spot for the most tunes written down. . .
. . .Take-offs on "Spell" they'll view;
I'll drop a line
Sometime.
In going to
Attempt to
Ask, "Would you
Take my slew.
I hope "wow!"
They will declare
'bout these parodies
Then say, "Yes!" Now. . .
. . .with spirit,
I'll try to sell this slew.
It's long shot time.

I agree with Sir Alvin, "Spells O'Jack Barrow" Oh, how it be a best seller !! . . . and Sir John, keep the passages referring to ~L'meat ~ to a minimum, oh . . .pleease!
Lining up for a comped copy, maybe a galley proof.
First thought 'pon seeing the title had to do with horses, Seattle, and taxidermy. Must be the Alvin effect. :-)
