    The Pajama Man

    I am writing a blog

    I'm the Pajama Man

    I'm writing a post today

    For I am really in the mood

    For a light taste of crude

    And you all got me feelin all right

    dadadadaaada dadadadadadada

    Now I'm so excited

    The pc's all connected

    And Seashell has made it all good

    I got a wireless keyboard

    A wireless mouse

    And the software is all to my taste

    And the Dell has pizzazz

    And there really is no time to waste

    AN HOMAGE

    Now a right wing curmudgeon has posted

    A distrust and comtempt for all of us lefties

    He spits at Obama declaring hes really Osama

    And claims all the progressives are deaf

    So Bwak and Seashell and Flower and Auntie

    Yell trucknuts and buttsecks and cry out their own disbelief

    And list all the best menues to fill in the venue

    And completely ignore the dumb brief

    ladidaladididida lalalalalalalalalaaaaaa

     

    Now Sleepin and DD and Grouch and Miguel

    Are old left complainers, with so much contempt for years

    They've watched Nixon and Cheney and Rummy go crazy

    With high Crimes and Misdemeanors

    They saw Reagan the dolt and w dig us a hole

    Backing all the evil corporate trolls

    So they start on their rantings

    Sayin that's not what they are wanting

    Surely there must be something better than this

     

    Now Justice is practicing poetry

    Although they've publish a lot that he writes

    And LisB, Missy, Flower, Orlando and Auntie

    Post poetry that sounds more than all right

    Rowan and Pseudo and Grouch and old Larry

    Are techies for bloggers at our Cafe

     

    Old Quinn complains of piles and three legged dogs

    And makes us laugh till we are quite but sick

    TheraP is our leader and we'd all like to meet her

    She proves right wingers are nothing but dicks

    And Face and Obey and Oleeb and OGB

    Give us long and great essays for free

     

    Meanwhile Saladin gives us variety shows

    While Carol G produces a news post for lazies like me

    But Curt can get mad

    Showing hypocracy is bad

    And Missy says that's no reason to be without some hope

     

    Most of Cafe is so hopeful

    After thirty years of corporate control

    The fascists have reigned

    Driving lefties insane

    Giving the powerless nothing but pain

    We now pray for universal health

    The end to all warfare

    And redistribution of wealth

     

    So I have finished this post

    I'm the Pajama Man

    I posted for all of my friends

    The lowliest of the low

    And the worst of the poets

    I now take my final bow

    But I really am having a ball here

     

    So If your thinkin of posting an essay

    And you're worried cause there's something you lack

    Just fill in the blanks with buttsecks and trucknuts

    and ack ack ack ack ack ack ack

     

     

    THANK YOU ALL. SO MUCH TO READ.  SO MUCH TO WRITE. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY YOU ALL.

     

    Oh, and my apologies to Billy Joel
