For humorous only

The Song Of Nobody

When Nobody was lying rest,
And rest close to a pond
Where nature sings its daily songs
And Paparazzi were easily around
They sealed his spell with a golden crown
and With a new name upon

Then in the dreary afternoon
Under a pale strolling  moon
Somebody saw Nobody
Quietly sitting on his throne
Somebody screamed
“Who waked up Nobody?!!!”
Nobody gave a ring of the bell
Nobody came to break the spell.

Bravos!!! Bravos!!!

The Song Of Nobody

When Nobody1 was lying rest,
And rest close to a pond
Where nature sang its daily songs
And Paparazzi were easily around
They sealed his spell with a golden crown
and With a new name upon

Then in the dreary afternoon
Under a pale strolling  moon
Everybody1 saw Nobody1
Quietly sitting on his throne
Everybody2 screamed
“Who waked up Nobody1?!!!”
Nobody2 gave a ring of the bell
that Nobody3 came to break the spell.
since then Everybody is Nobody
and nobody is unique me.

Bravos!!! Bravos!!!

Hee Hee!  Thanks for making me laugh!  It helped break the spell of a dreary day!

Who cares about nobody and why shouldn't everybody sleep in his stead? This is an interesting play on words I like the revision as much as the original.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

Drauntz, do you remember the story of Homer's Odysseys?  When he encountered Cyclops, Odysseys claimed his name to be "Nobody".  I am reminded of that passage in reading this body of work.

Enjoyed!
