Satellite Dish - A Poem

Perl on Health - Fri, August 08 2008

[Based on Bush' "Machinehead" and inspired by my time having to wear that cone collar so I wouldn't lick my knee stitches.]

[grunt arf grunt grunt arf]
[grunt arf grunt grunt arf]

Push left, push right
Claw left, claw right
Growl low

Snap left, snap right
Shove left, shove right
Growl low

Tied round my neck, a collar from heck
Why does it make you bipeds smile?
I sling to the left, I whip to the right
It's bigger than the Isle of Wight
For the love
Of Snoopy
Just because I tried to lick and nose my wounds.

Got a satellite dish tied around my neck
As I run, will I wreck.
To protect my scar, it surrounds my head.
I see red
Even though I'm color-blind.
Firmly does it bind ...

Can't run, can't see.
It's killing me.
This dish ...

Because of my surgery
I'll wear it 'til I'm thirty.
What did I do to anger the gods?
I growl and I whine,
Until it's my pill time.
Why'd I get hurt that time that I trod?
My knee is limp as squid,
Who can I kid?

Got a satellite dish tied around my neck
As I run, will I wreck.
Hobbling around around, with just three legs
Feel like dregs
As I catch it on the chair,
I wish it weren't there ...

(Give the biped hairy eyeball ...)

Whip left, whip right.
Snap left, snap right.
Tug hard
Tug hard
Tug hard.

Got a satellite dish tied around my neck
As I run, will I wreck.
We got HBO, channeled through my head
Where's my bed?
I just wanna rest.
This is too tough a test.
Satellite Head.

The biped slips it off,
For now I can relax.

What a terrifi song. However, I personally prefer the term "Shakesperian Collar", myself. Really wouldn't scan though. Hope you get better soon Perl.

You should see Perl with that thing! There was a rabbit in the yard this morning, and she took off after it, but her head bobs from the three-legged running, so she caught the edge of it on a tree root and tripped! I laughed so hard I nearly forgot the rabbit!

Beau...don't anger the beagle queen...she'll sicke those BFF's on you and next thing you know, your toes are painted and you got scrunchies on your ears...

Good tune...try not to look up in the rain ;0)

BFFs? Pfft! I'd rather hang out with the guys. Then we can eat peanuts and watch squirrel wrestling.

Not funny! Just wait until I'm out of this thing and can stick my nose back in the icemaker! You won't sleep soundly then, will you?!?!

Perl, we're very sorry that you still have satellite head, but the HBO must be kinda cool....

Nice song, BTW.
