You all really know how to brush away the blues, don't ya!?! Here are the latest tossers - uh, I mean B.L.O.B.s to be tossed out for the best lyrical lines:

To Clifton53 for the prophetic punch of:

Well I sat there lookin' stupid,
And I cursed my rotten fate
And the wife and her broom flew around the room,
She said " it's twenty years too late"

To mousethief for smiley semi-sonnet:

Cousin wants to use that broom awhile
Cousin wants to use that broom awhile
Cousin wants to use that broom awhile
broom broom broom

and for finding the right spot with:

I'm gon' call up Chiney, I know the store manager over there
I'm gon' call up Chiney, I know the store manager over there
If I can't find a Nimbus on Philippine's Island, I'll buy one in Ethiopia somewhere

To Tinker for the silly (and shameless):

He's a regular rocket that fits in my closet
NOBODY BEATS MY BOB
When I get an itch it's a flick of the switch,
A simple turn of the knob

To Jack the Sailor (who's obviously been hanging out with Tinker!) for:

You'd think that would be enough
But she found some other stuff
But she took my vasiline
and my model submarine
And her eyes just open wide
When the Nautilus starts to dive

To MMario, for creative gear-shifting with:

Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks looks and drives in a fog now
(You walk in a dream, now you walk in a dream)
She makes the porno stars look like they're all nuns now
(You walk in a dream, now you walk in a dream)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You walk in a dream, now you walk in a dream)
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the Batt'ry away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the Batt'ry away)

And to Aidan, although his song doesn't have anything to do with brooms, made me guffaw - as a woman who lives with four males in the house - with these oh-so-true lines:

When spring it has spring, the lads, amply-hung
Get stirrings that set them on edge
They'd damn nearly mate with a crack in a plate
Or a hole in a holly-bush hedge

Phew! You guys are fantastic -- what you can do with just a bit of straw and a stick . . . on second thought, let's don't go there ;-)

Well done, everyone!!
