Notes About The Poem

 Midge Farrelly - Famous Aussie Surfer. - A paddle pop  - kind of like an icy pole. 

Sunny the Goblin

Sunny the goblin
Was a very joyful troll
With a blue surfboard and a stately pose
Down the beach he would stroll

Sunny the goblin
Is a happy bloke they say
He surfs well you know
Loves the seaside so
He will live here one day

He built a shack right on the beach
He built it on sturdy ground
No dinner he had a *paddle pop instead
And began to dance around.

Oh Sunny the Goblin
Was sun tanned as could be
And the people say
He could surf all day
Just the same as *Midge Farrelly

Oh Sunny the goblin
Knew the surf was up that day
So he said lets do some surfing in the sun
So they surfed all the day

Down to the surf shop
With a surfboard in his hand
Buying gear to wear
New T-shirts everywhere
This place was surf gear land

He bought new board shorts for a pound
And a new summer top
He could have bought lots more
But they were closing the shop

Hmm Sunny the Goblin
Had to hurry on his way
With a little sigh he waved goodbye
Great shopping here today

Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump
The sand's so hot it glows!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump
Sunny carries his board running on his toes.!

Thank you Beryl. Competitions like this are a welcome relief from the strict rules and heady content imposed for some contests. This one was fun, even if I did have that song in my head for days after listening to it countless times as I fitted my words to it. Thank you for your most welcomed visit and comment. All the best to you. SV

Isn't the You Tube one I displayed, the original ? I thought it was. Its the one I went off to match line and syllable number with, to write Sunny the Goblin.

I didnt really like any of the song choices and I thought we had to have same amount of lines as the original, but guess not... I loved yours though.. My fave.

Thanx S.O. I just read yours. Very good. A lot were similar, but kinda glad that I did mine a month earlier, so I got rid of 'Frosty the Snowman' ringing in my head, after listening to it 100 times while writing the parody !!! lol

Thanks Miranda, I truly wasn't expecting it to be judged favorably. I wrote it over a month ago, and concocted the image then had forgotten about it. It was a nice surprise.

Oh my, dear sweet Wen - you are a genius! I love, love , love this ! So adorable as you are! This is absolutely brilliant. I read it out loud several times with Frosty’s tune and all the words fit perfectly as you sing along. I sang along and giggled at the same time.- especially’ He could have brought lots more/ But they were closing the shop’. Your creative imagination is boundless and you never fail to amaze me with your talent.I love seeing where your creativity takes you next.

oh beautiful Christina, you made me smile so much. Thank goodness I woke up this morning and finally "Frosty the Snowman " wasn't still in my head, ... I sang it that many times while writing my little lyrics, I thought I was stuck with it in my head forever!!!. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
