Daz the Slug, O Daz the Slug
we have caught the reading bug
a book we need to calm our fever
as Greppers is such an eager beaver.

Make it short or make it medium
something to relieve the tedium
but for God's sake you will make me frown
if you even consider picking Dan Brown

Actually that rhyme makes no sense as Daz is choosing the chooseriser, not the book

Daz, O Daz, please choose a chooser
There's no reply. He's in the boozer.

If anyone wants to sing my one in the bath, I think the tune, by Sir John Goss (1800–1880), is called "Humility".

That reminds me, the firs song I ever wrote was based, thematically, on HDN. I was 10.

“When I’m working late at night
And I don’t get home ‘til one o clock
I really need that sleep
(Oh yeah)
But when I wake up in the morning

and the kids say “Hello, Dad”
And I’ve got my love beside me
I know that can’t be bad.

Can’t be bad, can’t be bad,
Can’t be bad, can’t be bad
You know that can’t be bad.”

*pops head in*

Really trying to get back into reading regularly. Have lapses of late. Downloaded HHhH to read on hols. In the meantime, I joined the local library. Thought would ease myself in gently with Conclave by Robert Harris.

With echoes of She Loves You.

What a very sophis 10 year old you were, Dio!

(First song I wrote aged about the same was called 'You Never Said Hello To Me' which sounds extremely needy and pitiful.)

I’m getting confused between this and the Beatles Deathmatch thread
