An Archival Image Of The 103rd Concerto

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 Spoony Oldham + Hally Buttah
are pictured below

Hally is proudly acknowledging
his legal capture

103 unseen people
on the world-famous
cheered maddeningly
[I cheered loudest]
 
This would never have happened
if Spoony Oldham
had not plugged his keyboard
into the "lamp-post"
and played 
The 103rd Concerto
which is master bait
for the most valuable
coast-worthy fish
in the Pacific Ocean
 
Hally Buttah's halibut
measured exactly 
37.103 inches
© Oliverio                 103rd day of 2008
 
If I hadn't been hungover
from celebrating the CarPeos
faux wedding announcement,
the image would have been
flush right
and the text would have been
flush left

  1. Didn't "Spoony Oldham" write the song I'm Your Puppet?

    1. YES...and that is partly the reason why I posted this page:

      The classic version of the song is sung by
      James and Bobby Purify
      and I am seeking Spoony's help
      in a companion song by
      James and Bobby SIMPLIFY
      because, in any 11th grade Algebra book,
      the most terrifying/anxiety-provoking word
      is "Simplify" when it is accompanied by
      a smorgasbord of variables/parentheses/
      different exponents/operations/
      and sometimes fractions

      The purpose of the song
      would be to use music/lyrics
      to explain in simple words
      how to understand
      reducing something other than your weight,
      debt, or marital problems

      Unfortunately, the original singers—the "Purify" Brothers—
      died in the previous decade and they are both
      safely ensconced in the Eternal Paradise

  2. A “faux” wedding announcement is better than none at all.
