Posted: 6/19/04 at 4:54pmI laughed so hard at that part...I think I scared the people around me.

Ok here I delivered it as promised though it's a little late. Extra points to whoever can tell what it originally was.
Marc Shaiman's eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than his lips red:
If snow be white, his hair's a winter field;
If hairs be wires, white wires fall from his head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in Marc's cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that our Marc Shaiman reeks.
I love to hear him speak, yet I do know
His music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a Greek God go,
Marc Shaiman, when he walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, our Marc is as rare,
As any he belied with false compare.

SCOUNDRELS!
Right under my nose!Well, while my Unicorn Bookstore stories might have lacked a poetic flow, the content was still, AMAZING!
But even I, ToadyBootlicker #1 have to hand it to you Son, BRAVO!
In the meantime I shall TRY and write a small bit of whimsy about my beloved Marc...either that or send RSR to contain this madness!
Off to download some more Pick-a-Little magic!

Walnut
You come to me at closing with a walnut in your hand.
At first you squeeze and hide it like some treasure in the sand,
In the middle of the walnut there is a twenty dollar bill, but you don't care about it,
for your heart you need to fill.
And if the other's chuckle and say you are real bad,
I'll laugh and crack the walnut, and be your special lad.
Don't worry if this scars me for future relastionships, at least I got my Boba and that was worth the trips.
There's so many things I've done that may seem quite obscene, but worry not my paperhanger
our love no one has seen.
Shaiman Limerick
"Marc Shaiman writes music so sweetly,
His lyrics engage you completely.
He creates with such flair.
That Sondheim can't compare,
thus securing his TONY concretely"
This is an updated ending to the limerick as my previous finale was incorrect as it went like this;
"and Fred Ebb says he's sneaky and cheeky."
My bad!
Actually it's the THIRD ending, and I had expert help on finishing it! Maestro, say it works! I'm on the ledge!

oh dear!
Eddie Varley, I'm afraid you are gonna get us sent to the off-Topic Board with that poem...for those wondering what he is talking about, DON'T ASK!!!!
and EV dear, the last line of your limerick DOESN'T RHYME!!!!!
you have shamed me and not so "DISCRETELY"
I must straighten my room now so "NEATLY!!
then I must tip toe off quite "PETITELY"
and so on...
SOAG, I need another poem to cleanse my pallete
Eddie, I shall deal with you at a later date

But I'll try and clean it up!

WHATSA MATTAH VARLEY, YOU NEVER WENT TA SCHOOL??
YOUR ATTEMPT AT A CORRECTION STILL SUFFERS FROM THE WRONG CONSONANT!!
Eddie Varley was once quite the praiser
Now he points to his wrist with a razor
because Son Of A Gun
is my new Honey Bun
And I feel bad that Tzeitel dissed Lazur

Oy Boychick Marc!
A lover of the theater, a TONY award-winning composer and a member of the tribe and you can't spell Lazar correctly. You must not have had your morning pancakes yet...

Posted: 6/22/04 at 4:55pmYou have to give it to Eddie that he did write some original poems. I merely ripped off Canticle of the Sun and Shakespeare's Sonnet 130...

Gunn, I think that you've missed the point of the "Pick-A-Little, Post-A-Little" if you're rejecting compliments from taking previously written work and giving it a new spin.
Go watch the video again.
And Marc, I would love to see you around the website more.
It's nice to that it's easy to find you, what with you only posting on your own threads and all.
But Marc, these boards are so great to explore.
And the chat room's kinda fun, too.

(This is my 1000th post.
After this, I believe I will be a Broadway Legend.)
Marc, I saw Better Midler on the AFI list talking about "Wind Beneath My Wings".
I was very excited.
Thought of you.

FF,
I try to only post in threads about me or HAIRSPRAY cause commenting on other peoples work would be a dangerous, slippery slope for me (being a fabulous show biz big shot and all)
wait, I DO post in the RightSaidRick threads!!!!
and tonight at THE FROGS, there was the entire Shakespeare sonnet SOAG quoted and boy, was my face red that I hadn't recognized the old fart!

Marc,
Sorry "Blame Canada" didn't get selected for the top 100. In your honor, however, I did play that part of the South Park movie last night. I love the enthusiam of the M.A.C.!
And, glad you remembered to mention RSR in your previous post because he certainly remembers you... I assume he'll be paying you a visit when is released from that "special" facility.
Be Afraid! :o)

Oy Gevalt!!
As I wrote Lazur, I knew it looked wrong, but I was insanely late for my flight and hit "post", knowing full well I was embarrassing myself with an error within a correcting post...
Oy, what a shanda I have brought to my people...nebech!!
Craig, so sorry for the tzuris I have caused...to make amends, I am personally going to circumcise RightSaidRick later today when he brings me my lunch

I, for one, was devasted when you misspelled Lazar. Shattered my whole, unhealthy illusion that Tony-winning composers are actually creatures far superior to humans.
