in the style of Walt Kelly and apologies to anyone who needs them.
L'amazing Grace, how sweet surround sound,
That made the wreck you see...
I still is lost, so fine me please.
Robbed blind by just the fee.Twas Mace that taught...
my Bart to sheer.
And drank my beer with glee.
How spacious did that Mace appear...
the hare I first deceived.Threw many rangers, oil & snakes...
at that unruly bum.
Tis Mace that kept me safe, unharmed...
and Mace will speed my rum.The fiord has given mud to me...
his bird my heart demures.
It will my field abortion be...
at least for a lite Coors®.Fen, we've been near with prows and deers...
night pining to begun.
We've mo' messy ways to sting bod's days...
then, Hen, the worst chikkun.Lamazing Grace, how sweet surround sound,
That made the wreck you see...
I still is lost, so fine me please,
Robbed blind by just the fee.(of course I don't know what it means just ask what's snoo.)
Every year around this time I look for Walt Kelly books to get my dad for Christmas. It turns out they are starting to re-print collections, YEY!

Hi, Shari
It was a tough one to follow. Is this called a parady?
It is interesting.

Amazing glaze how sweet the taste,
to addict an addict like me.....
I once couldn't decide but now I see, that apple fritters are the best that be.
Oh my heart sing praises of donutsthat follow with caffeine I drink....
We have less days to eat such junkfor a sinner I most certainly be.( a real off tune, off phrased work on Amazing grace)
that was hard to follow in places but entertaining
All I know is that it made me chuckle.
Every Christmas someone in our family sings Deck us all with Boston Charlie, Walla walla wash and kalamazoo. Nora's freezin on the trolley, Swaller dollar cauliflower alley garoo. Or sometimes Good King Sauerkraut looked out on his feets uneven. Behol the snoo lay round and bout, all kerchoo achievin. We don't remember the rest of the words, so this is the only parts that we sing. I think Beauregard the Hound-dog has a versions of the first one too, but I've forgotten it.
Oh Shari, I had a good laugh reading that. I didn't know about Walt Kelly books. That is interesting.
Hehe! Good job! It brought a smile to me as I take a moment to read at work!
@ANVRSADDAY - yes, I would say Walt did parody. Me, I'm not so good. I'm pretty sure that following it isn't all that important really. I hope it gave you a smile.
@angys_coco - @murisopsis - Thanks for reading! I'm glad it entertained you and merry, merry sits on fairies to you both!
@Grannys_Place - I'm so glad! I must have done something right! Dingle dangle light a candle!
@alterEGGO - thanks, I'm not sure it matters terribly much if one can follow it. Just silly and I hope you enjoyed it!
@ata_grandma -
Here's what I found on Wikipedia...( it was either that or go through all the books my dad has)
Good King Saurkraut:
"Good King Sauerkraut look out / On his feets uneven / Beware the snoo lay 'round about / All kerchoo achievin'..." Then one would ask, "Snoo? What's snoo?" and the reply, "Not much, what's snoo with you?"
