World of Weird Al Yankovic

lol i ment and THENv he plays with his poodle but he could play with the poodle in the shower?

At the riscue of sounded dirty minded, ewwwww!!

I thought the imagery was good and it expressed the idea properly. The rhymes didn't sound forced that much and it was a nice rhythm. All in all, a very nice and comforting poem to read.

I can't believe no one's posted here for over a month! Where are you all, Al-poets? Anyway, here's my latest...please bear in mind that it's 2 a.m. here and I'm not well...


I dream of a day when Al knows my name
And we’re not kept apart by his fans or his fame
When I call L.A. home ‘cause I work in ‘the biz’
And my hubby and I have a home close to his.
Sure, it’s just a dream now, but it could happen someday
(I am working right now on my second screenplay!)
And my son and Al’s daughter could hang out at school
And discuss how their dads are both funny and cool.
And whenever I went out to take a nice walk,
I’d run into Suzanne and we’d both stop to talk
And I’d ask her to thank Al for all that he’s done
For my life and for helping me find my true one.
And when Al drove by our house, he’d wave to my son
And sometimes we’d all go bowling, and it’d be so fun.
Okay, clearly I’m dreaming, but what’s wrong with that?
I’ve followed his career from first LP to Poodle Hat
He’s affected my life so completely and well
He’s one reason I hope my new screenplay will sell
So someday I can live close to Al’s neighborhood
Because he is the best and that would be so good!

Thanks, Terri. Glad you enjoyed it. I was in a sort of Elizabeth-Barrett-Browning-meets-Kevin-Smith mood...
Here, I'll take another stab...

I would wear ugly shoes
I'd put broccoli in booze,
I would walk to Nepal,
I'd do anything for Al!
I would give up a kidney,
Move my family to Sydney,
Write Al's name in the sky,
I'd do anything but die!
For Al, I'd wash dishes,
Give a genie three wishes,
Shoot my best friend's best gal,
I'd do anything for Al!
I'd stand naked in Times Square to advertise his new CD,
Go over Niagara Falls in a barrel containing just a wolverine and me,
Write a thesis on the historical significance of films by Leni Riefenstahl,
Let's face it, I would do anything, absolutely anything for Al!
(Including, apparently, writing really stupid poems!)

um, anyway...who's next?

Wow, violence and nudity...I dunno about the shooting part. I wouldn't shoot anyone. Not for Al, not for anyone.


I liked the other poem better.

Twas The Time Before A New Al Record

Twas the Friday before Christmas
And the postings were scattered
Not a soul poster commented
On the topics that mattered

The forums were few
And not at all random
We're all praising Al
For we're part of his fandom

The children were posting
All snug with their mice
While visions of Yankovic
Added quite a bit spice

There's Bobbi with her talents
And Patti's miles of devotion
Had 50 thousand posts between them
And from them, no commotion

When out in the industry
A new album's in queue
A new Al creation with
Songs, parodied and new

I sprang to Best Buy
With money to spare
To see all the humor
I was sure to be there

I tore open my wallet
And out flew the cash
"Give me a new ALbum"
I proclaimed, in a flash

The light on the plastic
It gave such a glow
As I paid for my purchase
I smiled, don't you know

As I walked out of the store
With a new ALbum so near
I yelled, "Merry Christmas,
And a very 'Weird Al' New Year!"

Merry Christmas (Happy Holidays) everyone! I hope you all have a fantastic (and Al filled) New Year!

that polka'ed Ak!

very very clever

Thanks, Emily ... (feeling all a flutter that someone even took the time to read it) ... may Santa not dress as Rambo and off poor Rudolph!

I love it, Ak!

Bravo!!
