Okay, so I lied. What follows is blasphemy, but I doubt Mr Zimmerman will mind:


Positively Rain Blowin’ on Fourth Avenue


Mumblin’ grumbling’ words that make no sense,
I can’t help it if you all are dense.
Are you stressed about current events?
Have a hit, then you won’t feel so tense.

I’m a poet, everybody knows.
Even if you think my lyric blows.
Maybe it will put you in a doze.
Every high is followed by its lows.

So what if my words aren’t finely-honed?
If I had a message, I’d have phoned.
I don’t care if you think my mind has roamed
Just as long as everyone gets stoned.

I just want the stupid words to rhyme
Just as long as it does not take much time.
These words are the message that is mine:
Have a toke, and then you’ll feel fine.

You might think this song’s some kind of joke.
Sounds like country-western, but it’s folk.
Well, I can barely think with all this smoke.
Guess I’ll have myself another toke.

Hope you liked this Bobby Dylan song.
If you did, you can always sing along.
I don’t care if you get the words all wrong.
Now, would someone please pass me the bong?

...Sad thing is, though I am mildly amused, I have to say that this is indeed a bit of blasphemy...but the thing is, blasphemy against Bob Dylan is pretty rare, so I'll accept it.

Too bad we can't quite manage to blaspheme rap. I try and try and try, but even the most blasphemous of pleas (like, I'd rather stick a red-hot cactus up my nose) can't hit deep enough in those cases!

Throws rocks at the blasphemer

Wellard, that was hilarious! Why can't I just keep my mirth short, simple, and effective like you? You know <font size=1>I really try to be funny all the time but just don't manage it because I drone on and on about stuff that not only doesn't matter, but also isn't funny in the least. Like last week, there was this one post where I was like "hey, I'm funny," and everyone else was like "hey,you don't exist," and it wasn't cool.......</font>

Hey... you don't exist ;)
