LIVERPOOL RAMBLE; THE MUSICAL

Another dip in the 'Pool, this time with a musical bent; this is something I learned from Svivid

I've always wanted to see Liverpool firsthand, but have to be satisfied with hearing about it from friends and family. 

Never one to be discouraged, I am pretending to be there, on a busy street corner, listening to the people passing by...

The first person to pass is the famous MAGGIE MAE. She's on the way over to PENNY LANE, to see WHAT GOES ON with that DEAR PRUDENCE, SEXY SADIE, POLYTHENE PAM, and DIZZY MISS LIZZIE, over at the local brothel, YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY. You know, the one over on BLUE JAY WAY, right where it edges up to NORWEGIAN WOOD.it's run by LADY MADONNA. it's  right by the OCTOPUS' GARDEN tea room.

YES,  IT IS number nine hundred and ten; THE ONE AFTER 909.

"Oh! DARLING," says LOVELY RITA, as she opened the door,"Come in; I've never been so glad to see anyone IN MY LIFE! i'VE GOT A FEELING that IT WON'T BE LONG till we start making some MONEY."

"i need SOMETHING," said ANOTHER GIRL, who had just come over. "I really fear that I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER. BOYS are always saying things to me, like, 'I WANNA BE YOUR MAN,' 'I NEED YOU', and 'I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND.' Just YESTERDAY, SOME OTHER GUY asked me to go to KANSAS CITY with him. He fooled me once, but NOT A SECOND TIME."

"i'm going on a MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR," confided JULIA, as SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW in a YELLOW SUBMARINE.

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT," the SUN KING said, crossly. 

"TELL ME WHY," demanded HER MAJESTY.

'BECAUSE," replied a PAPERBACK WRITER who had wandered in from down THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD, "I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY, but I'M SO TIRED... I should be FIXING A HOLE, but it's been A HARD DAYS' NIGHT. He drifted into GOLDEN SLUMBERS, and when the ladies tried shaking him awake, he just muttered, "DON'T BOTHER ME; I'M ONLY SLEEPING."

"GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING," sang the ladies, but to no avail.

OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA," they chorused, but he just lay there like an OLD BROWN SHOE.

"GOOD NIGHT," they finally told him.

"LET IT BE", he mumbled. "I'M DOWN...

Wow-what a discographically wonderful poem angel! Very clever writing and unbelievably cohesive storyline linking all of the song titles together. Made me smile big-ly. All I can say is THANK YOU GIRL!

[angel]

Watch out; you're starting to do it, too!
Glad you enjoyed...thanks for reading and commenting!

You not only had a good teacher, you were obviously a good student too.... Neville

PART TWO now up, but this one is rated for adults only. It sort of got naughty on me...

[Neville]

can hardly wait... will be back...... N

Thoroughly entertaining angel. Such fun and I found myself reminded of some great music and wanting to play it all again. I love the way you have incorporated all those titles into your story line. Nostalgic, but upbeat too. Well done.

Oh my, angel - this is wonderful, truly wonderful! Okay so you already had the titles etc but to put them together so cleverly must surely have taken some thinking and juggling!? Bravo and all that for giving me such musical smiles to carry through the dark, damp day!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da to you too. x

[angel]

It was a lot of fun for me and I plan to do another.
Slivid gave me the idea by writing something with song titles in it, so credit for the concept goes to them, but yeah. I enjoyed doing it. Thanks for reading, it and stay tuned for PART DEUX!

[emmajoy]

I will, promise!

LIVERPOOL RAMBLE, PART TWO is now finished and ready to read, but bear in mind that, this time, it is rated MATURE.

was Polythene Pam so good lookin' but looked like a man...???

I like all the references...had me singing the next lyrics..."nothin' to do it's up to you; i've got nothin'
to say, but it's okay.

[angel]

You should see her in her jackboots and kilt! (she's killer diller when she's dressed to the 'ilt!)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

ha ha....love it...maybe she is the one who came through the Bathroom window...not Prudence.

[angel]

Well, look for the girl who sucks her thumb and wonders on the bank of her own lagoon...doesn't anybody wonder? Doesn't anybody care?

[angel]

The girl with colitis goes by...
