Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 46 From: Bradypus Date: 18 Dec 00 - 07:00 PM Farewell to Alms In Sri Lanka Zoo there's a lion A poor lion, old, that's for sure I'd like to cheer up that poor lion But what do you give to the poor ? Chorus I gave him some alms, now I'm armless I opened my soul and my heart I ain't had a drink, but I'm legless The whole thing just tears me apart Giving alms to the poor is a good thing To respect poor dumb creatures is right When you're old you expect to be feeble But that lion was filled full of fight The sign, it said 'don't feed the lion' But that's mean, it doesn't feel right So I jumped in the pit with the lion To give him a quick, tasty bite I jumped in the pit with the lion Though some people think I was nuts It's partly to do with religion And partly to prove I had guts I was there in the pit with the lion I sure didn't mean any harm I bowed most polite to the lion And the lion tore off my right arm I got down on my knees to the lion His mercy I wanted to beg He looked, and he purred 'You poor beggar' Then the lion ripped off my right leg With my arm and my leg in the lion I couldn't stand up straight and tall And then in the groin the beast mauled me - That lion was having a ball! So now in the hospital I'm lying I'm as mauled as a person can be I'll no longer give alms to the lion - If you've got any, give them to me.

Part 46 From: GUEST,Bardford Date: 18 Dec 00 - 12:34 AM I had been sitting under a tree waiting for enlightenment.Turns out all I had to do was open up this thread to find the above verses. Laughter is a worthy path, and you folks tend the path well.To the tune of LUCKENBACH TEXAS (written by Chips Morman, sung by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, and any MOR/country/legion/wedding band that I've ever seen or been a part of in the neck of the woods where I grew up) There're only two things in life that make it worth doin' It's teeth sharpened up good and fence-jumpin' humans I don't need my mane in the marquee lights I got my jaws and a jumper in my sights. Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of lunch Chorus: Let's eat a barenaked Buddhist on his way to Nirvana through the zoo His transcendental quest has got us feeding Like our cousins back in the jungle do But he's a scrawny old fella, with crunchy patellas And hardly no meat on his frame, toss him back over the cage I ain't eating vegan again Oh, baby it's not as interesting As chewing on some other things and anyway These fibii are choking me And you could bite on that gristly thigh all day We been so busy spitting up all those bones Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of lunch Let's eat a barenaked Buddhist on his way to Nirvana through the zoo His transcendental quest has got us feeding Like our cousins back in the jungle do But he's a scrawny old fella, with crunchy patellas And hardly no meat on his frame, toss him back over the cage I ain't eating vegan again Cheers, Bardford |

Subject: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 46 From: Áine Date: 13 Dec 00 - 04:29 PM Hi there, Challenge!rs! Here's a little story that Amos sent in for your 'songifying' enjoyment -- He calls it: "If I Gave Myself To You . . ." COLOMBO (Reuters) - A Sri Lankan man was seriously injured when he jumped naked into a lions' den at the national zoo, apparently offering himself up as a feast for the big cats, officials said Monday. "The man...had written a letter before jumping into the enclosure saying he wanted to give 'alms' to the lions," said Senarath Gunasena, director of the National Zoological Gardens in the Colombo suburb of Dehiwala. The man survived but the three lions in the den bit off parts of his arms, legs, chest and groin area. The incident occurred Sunday when the zoo was full of visitors. The man was rescued by zoo staff and onlookers who beat garbage cans to frighten the lions away and took him to a nearby hospital where he was in intensive care. Sri Lanka's majority Buddhist population believes that giving alms can earn merit for future incarnations. Go For It, Challenge!rs!! -- Áine |
