Yashar koach. One day someone will write a book: "The Failed Messiah Story: How a Little Blog took on the Orthodox Establishment- and Won!"

Here's my second attempt at an Elton John parody. Dedicated to Failed Messiah:
It's getting late have you seen my chevra
Ma tell me when havdalah's here
It's seven o'clock and I want to blog
Want to get a belly full of bile
My old rebbe's drunker than an HIV monkey
And the rebbetzin she don't care
Weingarten looks cute in his handcuffs and boots
A handful of payes in his hair
Don't give us none of your Agriprocessors
We had it with your misdemeanors
Motzai Shabbat's alright for blogging
Get a little sarcasm in
Get about as oiled as a greasy lawyer
Gonna set this farce alight
`Cause Motzai Shabbat's the night I like
Motzai Shabbat's alright alright alright
Well they're packed pretty tight in shul tonight
I'm looking for a rebbe who'll see me right
I may use a little kesef to get what I need
I may learn a little blatt and shout out "Kollel's free!"
A couple of the sounds Rubbishcan don't like
Are the sounds of Shmarya and Yochanan at the mic
I'm a Judaic product of the mocking class
Who gloats when molestors get it up the ---.
Posted by: Yochanan Lavie | October 07, 2008 at 10:30 AM
Mazel Tov, Shmarya. Keep up your good work.
"For Zion's sake I shall not be silent..."
Posted by: shmuel | October 07, 2008 at 11:20 AM
Yochanan, I like it!
"I may learn a little blatt and shout out "Kollel's free!"
How about:
"I may learn a little 'girsa' but not "Yechi!"
"I'm a Judaic product of the mocking class
Who gloats when molestors get it up the -"
Priceless.

Thanks. I guess I got my game on.
Posted by: Yochanan Lavie | October 07, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Yochanan, you are the new Captain Fantastic!
Posted by: WoolSIlkCotton | October 07, 2008 at 07:39 PM
"One day someone will write a book: "
Probably not, unless it's you that writes it, Yochanan....

Thank you all. Gmar tov.
