From: The Sandman Dalis moustache was too large for his face So it waxed ninety years on his cheeks It was not as taller as the surrealist himself Though it lasted many decades more It was grown on the morn of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it waxed, longer never to fade again When the old man died 37 years without slumbering its life seconds numbering It stopped, short never to grow again When the vain fool died My grandfather said that of those he could hire such a servant so faithful retained For it wasted no time and had but one desire At the close of his death to remain And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face And its hands stood smart by their side But it stopped short, never to grow again When the old man died |

Meanwhile, that limerick is still winninng this song challenge! All limericks, fyi, are sung to the tune that Oscar Brand used. Ay ay ay ay, in China they do it for chili.

Though your corpse may rot away, Your 'tache will last for many a day. But, my Dali, it may be (may be) While they check paternity. That your 'tache so firm and free, May last for an eternity!

23 Jul 17 - 06:40 PM (#3867909) Subject: RE: Dali's Moustache: song challenge? From: Big Al Whittle Salvador Dali Was a bit of a charlie Bent watches and all that shit But when he had a bash At growing a 'tache He seemed to have mastered it. Cos it grew quite long And folks came along And called it a work of art As part of his oeuvre What a great manoeuvre! (They would said that about his farts!) But when the old Spaniard Popped his clogs. The 'tache said Death ain't the end The rest of him May have gone to the dogs But my art has a message for men. So now the 'tache Is in The Prada Giving seminars and such Students it says they must try lots harder Or they won't understand very much. Art continues much long after The artists's beating heart. All his bits and pieces They go on being art. |
