Gomer Pyle meets Gilligan's Island

[ariellyn]

A five-hour surprise trip set to the tune of Gilligan's Isle

Just sit right down and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a staged trip
A blatant PR attempt
to counter polling dips

The passenger was a coward
Installed as president
So hated by the world was he
The trip was top secret...his trip was top secret

Surprise! Surprise! the coward said
to Prime Minister Maliki
Inadvertently confirming
Iraq's government is puppetry...the government is puppetry

The five-hour trip ended after cameras captured smiles
Of fake leaders, and hand picked troops,
Tony Snow, NSAs Hadley
Dan Bartlett and more sycophants
Can they be more vile?

Sing along everybody now! :sarcasm:

3. I write these myself..

and yours was GREAT!

Well done...you conserved the cadence and sense of the original - that's the trick.

Terrific...

PS I know how hard it is when no one gives you credit here - some days people are in the reading mood but not in the posting/commenting/congratulatory mood.

:applause: :toast:

Saturday afternoon is not a terrific time to release something of this caliber...late afternoon's are best during the week...

Sitcom math at its finest...

8. Not related to the John Funk from

Lambertville, NJ, are we?

9. BTW,

Dances With Wolves was a remake of F Troop...

A lower ranking officer accidentally leads a charge against the Confederate Army...Parmenter by sneezing, Costner by screaming with the boot on the gangrenous leg.

As a reward, they are both promoted

They go to outlying forts where

They meet wacky Native Americans

They meet a white woman who dresses in Buckskins - romantic interests ensue


See what I mean?
