The Day the Muse Kicked Clyde

Why did mares eat oats? Mares ate goats! And did does eat oats? Nah! Dose oats never don' be eaten! And how did little lambs eat ivy? Little lambsy divy is what it is! Just like Louie didn't Lou-eye, Neither did Big Birds Cry Nor did Fools Fall in Love - Y? MCA, where it's NO FUN to stay at the Hotel California where they been whinin' since 1969 when the Miracle Mets Svoboda'd the tar out of those Crybaby Cubs... ...And Ron Santa proved clawless just as Deutchland, uber alles turned into a pumpkin like Cinderelly's coach at the palace of the Ho-ho-ho Green Giant! He of the beanstalk so pliant and The red, red robin went Bop-bop-boppin' along on... ...That starry, starry, night With that palette painted blue and gray Air-brushed image of Rock Hudson and Doris Day, Preceded by the Jack Benny show, Rochester, and Dennis Day, Reminding me of Bill Dana - Jiminez Jose's Star-Spangled Blither-Banner: Jose, can you see by Dawn's Early Lite Beer: Tastes Great...Less Fillling... Tastes Great! Less FILLING! TASTES GREAT! LESS FILLING!... Tell her, 'Barkis is willing,' ala Dickensian rhyme: The answer my friend Is blowin' til the end of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme, Echoed the Zounds of Zilence. April 29, 2018 -- The Day the Muse Kicked Clyde

OH - it just came to me what the title references (I think 'day the music died?') Such a fun puzzler, especially the last 4 lines - hope your day is a good one, gw!

Okay, Mr. I. These are terrific lyrics, but can you sing them? If not, can you at least give us the TUNE, so we can?

I'll have to think of some 'umbrella tune' that'll fit over this menagerie of melodies...Hmmm, may take me some time,...Don't hold your breath, as they say. :) gw
