"Orion’s Belt Is Skewed"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

Orion’s Belt is skewed. . .
An oblique line.
The ancients looked and saw this dude
In the sky, an’
Were they high, man?!

That ain’t a man that
Is lookin’ on down.
I don’t understand that
They saw a man where stars swirl around.

Had they had belts, a slew
Of high-proof wine?
Some wine!

Altitude. . .
What’s there viewed
A line skewed,
But no dude in the clouds
Is there up there
In that galaxy.

Where those guys plowed?
Or druggies?

Orion’s Belt is viewed—
It’s just a line.
