A Tribute to Edgar Allen Poe (C) From a 19 January 2016 “Mudcat Cafe” post, by Suzanne from Australia, of an item that had appeared earlier in a MAD Magazine from the 1960s; tune = “There’s No Business Like Show Business” C Am C Am There’s no stories like Poe stories like no stories we know, G C If you like a tale that is appalling, G C If you like to murmur, shriek and cry, G Am D If you like a tale with bodies falling, and spirits calling, G Then Poe’s your guy! C Am C F There’s no people like Poe people, they all fill us with woe, Am G C A If you like a tale that’s filled with death galore, D G C A And spirits tapping…upon your door, Dm G C A And some crazy raven shouting, “Nevermore,” Dm G C There’s no…writer like Poe. And... In Praise of Stephen King (C) MY take on a 19 January 2016 “Mudcat Cafe” post, by Suzanne from Australia, of an item that had appeared earlier in a MAD Magazine from the 1960s; tune = “There’s No Business Like Show Business” C Am C Am I sing glories to King stories they bring disquieting, G C Most of them are filled with untold terror, G C Don’t be in error, I do not lie. G Am D If you like your stories full of evil, with much upheaval, G I’ll clari-fy. C Am C F There’s no villains like King villains, maybe living next door. Am G C A If you think that demons are just everywhere, D G C A With vampires lurking…in midair, Dm G C A Then maybe you’re just waiting for a King-sized scare. Dm G C Just stop at your local bookstore.
