The Lyrics
*pronounced as one syllable, "thall". Oh, I'm not serious with this parody. =)
I wrote a short ditty that'll* get me no fives
I dunno why I even still write
On AmIRight
There is a chance maybe you'll follow my pacing
Amazing? let's face it my pacing's disgracing!
Can't follow my pacing I'll get no fives
So I dunno why I even still write
On AmIRight
There is a chance maybe you'll vote me some fours
And those fours, are still a good score
I'll swallow the fours I botched the pacing
Amazing? let's face it my pacing's disgracing!
Can't follow my pacing I'll get no fives
So I dunno why I even still write
On AmIRight
There's still a chance maybe you'll volley some threes
My humor wreaks, it is weak indeed!
So volley the threes I won't get fours
I'll never get fours I botched the humor
My humor is rumored as fun as a tumor!
Can't laugh at my humor I'll get no fives
So I dunno why I even still write
On AmiRight
There's still a chance maybe you'll toss me some twos
Not good news! To see triple twos!
But toss me the twos I won't get threes
I never get threes I can't get fours
I'll never get fours I botched the stressing
I'm guessing, confessing my stressing's depressing!
Can't follow the stressing I'll get no fives
So I dunno why I even still write
On AmiRight
There's still a chance maybe you'll bomb me with ones
They're surely no fun, infact they're quite dumb
Still bomb me with ones I wont get twos
Don't toss me the twos or think of threes
I wont get the threes or even fours
I never get fours I botched the rhyming
My rhyming's unwinding and unappetizing!
Can't follow my humor or crappy rhymes
And I dunno why I even still write
On AmiRight
Then there's a chance maybe I'll pick up no votes
Totally choke and pick up no votes!
I'm wanting some votes but not three ones
I've gotten the ones and paid my dues
I don't want the twos not what I need
I don't want the threes an av'rage score
Be happy with fours? that vote is heinous!
More heinous and famous than spoofs of Uranus!
I varied the stanzas and hit my rhymes
Still I dunno why I'm getting no fives
Why do I try?
Well what's most important are comments my friend
And that's the end!
I dunno why I even still write

O....kay!! : D That's what we all want...5's.
bravo! good job 555
Bravo, yes! Your humor doesn't "wreak" or REEK either. 555
555, very ammusing. =)
I'm the fifth voter to give you fives. Kismet or coincidence? Very good parody, seriously.
great concept...and it worked like a charm...5s plus
Self-deprecation and sizzling wit...what a combo! You just keep getting better, Antman. 111....hah! ;-) (ya know what I gave ya...)
I am the eighth voter to give you some fives,
Your perfect score, it is still alive...
And that's all right! ;)
Your perfect score, it is still alive...
And that's all right! ;)
So, now that I've voted, that makes number 9 I guess it's fine to be number 9 And like the eigtht voter, I gave you all fives You perfect score is still much alive... See how it thrives!
...And so that would make me voter number ten, and if someone should spoil it, what should we do then?
Just like Syncronos, who was number nine, I voted 5-5-5, that's perfectly fine...
And like Serafina, the eighth voter here, I hope that the perfect score don't disappear...
That would be weird.

I DKTOS but with such a trail to follow that's hardly a problem here, I'll just trust everyone else on pacing and should their judgement be poor (I have really no reason to believe so) at least I'm in good bad company. :-) and an 11:th set of 5s.
Make me number 12. I knew an old lady who swallowed an elve (elf?). LOL for sheer creativity!
wow, another fantastic idea from you Red Ant, and you didn't do the cop-out by repeating lines like in the OS, but instead sprinkled it with gems like "I'm guessing, confessing my stressing's depressing!" - what a great line, and your Uranus obsession makes me laugh - brilliant - 555
heh heh... good job...
I found this one a little hard to swallow. I don't know why I found it hard to swallow. I guess I'll give it a five.
Thanks Adagio, Carol, Agrimorfee, Step-chan, John, Alvin, Kristof, Serafina, Syncronos, Kyla, Peter, MasonR, Stu, MrMacphisto and Michael P.
Agrimorfee: I thought I misspelled that, thanks for the correction!
Step-chan: I think that's spelled "amusing", though I am the last person on this site who should analyze spelling.
John: Since I can't remember off the top of my head what "Kismet" means, it must be coincidence!
Serafina, Syncronos and Kyla: Wow, three comments in verse. I'm truly impressed.
Peter: DKTOS?! I thought every person on the planet knew this OS! Its actually a fun childrens song to sing and was fun to parody as well.
MasonR: Not too many rhymes with twelve, good try though. ;-)
Kristof and Stu: Thank you much, I did repeat once in the parody but capturing the triple rhyme of that line wasn't easy to do. Hitting the quadruple rhyme you quoted was pretty good I thought. ;-)
Thanks again all for the kind and witty comments. I guess my title is n/a now either. :-)

Clever, particularly "My humor is rumored as fun as a tumor."
Guess you were wrong Red Ant. Never would have thought of a traditional parody. 555, Your Eighteenth one. :-)
Thank you John J and Huff.
I am voter number twenty. This poem gave me laughs a-plenty.
Thanks PMS.
I'm guessing, confessing my stressing's depressing... classic.
I'm giving you fives
I'm giving you fives
Thank you Dominic.
Brilliant idea and execution, Red! You'll get nothing but fives.
Thanks Rick.
