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

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.
