Post #30.
From MAD Magazine’s “The Sound of Money”:
*How come I’m alone
and there’s so much music?
High up on a hill
with no one in view?
Just how can there be
all this sound and music?
A musical question I pose
to you!
How can I run up this steep mountainside
without ever losing a beat?
You’d think that my lungs would give out up here
over ten thousand feet!
To do all these things with a wide-mouthed grin really
should not amaze—
I’ve had lots of rest,
'cause they filmed it on five different days!
I’m not singing now,
I am pre-recorded!
I’m just mouthing words
I have sung before!
And how does it feel
to be singing nothing?
It’s an awful bore!*
