It was fine, other than the WTF line, of which I find hard to pace. I guess you probably thought of writing a "Yesterday" spoof after seeing my take on it.
:-) You need to sing that line as:
Double - you - tee -eff do I mean, well, eye dee kay
..so scan with:
Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say
Double - you - tee -eff do I mean, well, eye dee kay

Fives for Threes.
My fave TLA's are: BFF, CIA, WTF, OMG, TLC, and BBW! Very impressive use of TLA's in your satire! FFF=555!
TVM
IMO, this little ditty was TNT, AKA dynamite. FYI, I voted 555, BTW.
VVG, Phil...the only one I stumbled on was DLT (Dave Lee Travis? surely not....;-)) Out American chums might not get CBA, but I loved it as an ending. 555
Thanks :-)
What you didn't realize, Kristof, was that it was the line "DLT eating a BLT" that actually sparked this parody, and yes it is Dave Lee Travis. I'm showing my age.

LOL - it's like a new dictionary that most of us can't get right away. I had a few of these in one I wrote a while back - The Twitter. The use of these is by too many, IMO. Oops.
So it's not about the Theater of the Living Arts.
