Historians should walk the plank concerning Drs. Stein & Frank. I merely hope it's not too late' for me to set the record straight. It seems like only yesterday my colleagues were resigned to play about with life to recreate a monster to re-animate. "But Doc, that's just what Shelley said, they set about to raise the dead." This much is true, oh doubtful one what differs is on how 'twas done. Instead of electricity they used this thing called "poetry" which caused the monster to convulse until he had a steady pulse an' took to stompin' with his feet around these Piptalk Forum streets. "Now Doc, you must be jivin' us, this ain't our first day off the bus, 'n poetry can't raise the dead, you must be samplin' your own meds"! My wooden nickle takers, no! Here's how the rest unfolds, like so... The village Pipsters quite alarmed grabbed torch and rake and set off armed to stop that crazed poem spoutin' beast then, just when they expect it least the Drs. Stein & Frank make clear 'twas not a beast , but , Balladeer! At this the village Pipsters cheer and head down to the Pub for beer! And me? Well I just disappear, until such time where I await to set another record straight. |

It's true I've been at times mistook For that poor creature in the book Who made the village shake with fear Whenever he would venture near But let me set the record straight Before the time becomes too late There is no monster lurking here.. It's just your friendly Balladeer. No monster haunts these halls of blue It's just your loving you-know-who, A pussycat, poetically, and picture of serenity. Put down your torches, friends of mine. There is no evil Frankenstein Or Dracula, instilling fear. It's just your friendly Balladeer. |

You can't disappear... not now that I know where you hide! LOL This is ... ahem... "history" at its best... and I thoroughly enjoyed! *S* |

shalisadefa, Thank you, I'm glad you found it entertaining. As for inspiration, well lets' see, Halloween is just around the corner( Frankenstein )the X-men Origins movie was released a while back, and I've got a ten year history of putting my own little spin on some classic tales here, and ,oh yeah, last but not least, my good friend Balladeer makes such an excellent target. Put 'em all together and you've just about got the "perfect storm" lol! Doc Brneyedgrly, Thanks so much. Doc Balladeer, I was merely offering one possible explanation for your poetic expertise,lol. Doc suthern, Lol @ your reply, I also had trouble picturing him looking like serenity! Must be the lighting. Doc |
