Help me rewrite 'Candle in the Wind' for the Gipper. It must be done!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

I was channelling Elton John in another thread, so I need you guys to finish the song.

Goodbye Nancy's Ron
Though I never knew you at all
You probably would've hated me
What with me being gay
But I made lots of cash
through your revised taxation structures
but then those air traffic guys
did you have to fire them all?

And it seems to me you lived your life
like a guy without a clue
Never knowing what old Ollie North was doing
Yeah it seems to me that you probably should
not have signed the FTA
But you sang with Brian Mulroney at that summit.

[Sporadicus]

1. I Read This Earlier

in the day, and nearly fell off my chair laughing. I'll give it some thought, but your talents are closer to those of your namesake than mine.

[H2O Man]

2. The Gipper's not my friend,

he's blowing in the wind.
The Gipper is blowing in the wind.

oops! wrong song.

[tigereye]

4. wish I could say

Goodbye Elliot
That evil fuck is still hanging round
The new repugs gave him more power
to cause more mayyyhemm.
Poindexter too, though you'd think
there was naught for him to do
But try to read our deepest thoughts
and our personal info too (ID)

And it seems to me your legacy will never be erased
And soon there will be more Star Wars crap just floating out in space
And our country will be reviled
While we screw the rank and file
OH Ronnie why'd you leave us, thought we would really miss your face
Well not me, not me

oh I can't do anymore! and I'm off meter

great idea Byron!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. LOL! You only lose meter in the last line. I never had it.

[tigereye]

6. I made Byron laugh!

cool. I am honored. :hi:

[hlthe2b]

3. Maybe "DUST IN THE WIND" would be more apropros

shame on me and I've been so good up to now1 :spank:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

7. I worked out an ending. Here you go.

And your supply-side economics
have been largely discredited
The tax cuts ran out long ago
The deficit never did.

[FleshCartoon]

8. I love your handle and I love your lyrics.

I look forward to watching you perform it at the funeral--live on CNN.

9. "And it seems to me you lived your life like a guy without a clue"

Oh man, I'm at the library right now reading this and I'm cracking up. People are staring. :7

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. Thank you. I live to ruin people's library reputations.

11. C'mon dude

you gotta work in the valiant invasion of Grenada somewhere....

[Screaming Lord Byron]

12. I was stuck on the bombing of Libya. Let's see....

A proud Free Market Trader
and you liberated Grenada
from a bunch of punks
on whom justice was dealt
You rationalized the state
you thought Saddam was great
but you failed to diversify
industry in the rust belt

[gator_in_Ontario]

13. A noble effort

"you thought Saddam was great"
I forgot that little item as well....
now Quadaffi is our best buddy....go figure

[Screaming Lord Byron]

14. I was amazed I could get a rhyme for Grenada.

Thank God for Free Trade!
