You know, I realy think I am going barking mad. Twice now I thought I saw a thread on Parodies concerning the Mudcat but I now cannot find either:-( In one I had a discussion about whether it was about characters but I suggested it was just about the 'cat in general but the character one got me thinking and I wrote the first couple of lines.

It is about me and, in case you didn't know, I used to be Dave the Gnome before I was Mad Polly. It doesn't make much sense unless I tell you that much at least :-) Anyway -

Oh, Polly, Mad Polly, the fun has now begun
I must go a marching to the beat of a different drum
Come dress yourself all gaily and leave behind the gloom
I'll take you to the wars, my love, on an internet chatroom

I'll buy for you a 'puter, love, and on it you will write
And all of my delight will be in visiting this site
We'll stop at the Mudcat Cafe, to post we are dry
We'll tell our deepest feelings and get by on irony.
(Ouch - terrible rhyme :-) )

Oh cursed be those cruel cuts that ever did they rise
And out of merry England posts many a man likewise;
They took my willy from me, likewise my other bits
And I became a Polly, to escape from all the... others
(Couldn't think of one there either)

Many friends there do I value, but my foes I do not fear
For now my Gnome has left me and wanders far and near
Where to find him now I ne'er will know, for he has no IP
And I think his willy's gone away to High Germany.

:-)
