We do this from time to time here. Take the lyrics to a song and make them as verbose as possible. I’ll start.

_Relieve yourself of your burdens, Stephanie  
There’s no charge for relief  
Relieve yourself of your burdens, Stephanie  
Instead give your burdens directly to me_

Commenced my existence in the lower 48 states of continental north america  
Postnatal in the country with the most Super Bowl wins.  
Entered life with the lowest life expectancy in the Western world  
Began my freedom in the country with the highest incarceration rate

She holds you in the highest esteem, affirmative, affirmative, affirmative  
She holds you in the highest esteem, affirmative, affirmative, affirmative  
When it happens that you are held in such high esteem  
Your expected reaction ought to be a very pleasant level of satisfaction

It occurred to me after the fact that “mean” in this context actually refers to penny-pinching tendencies rather than temperament.

Still, I kind of like the phrase “inordinately cruel condiment”. Maybe I’ll use it if I ever have to come up with another handle on some other message board.

Perched on a breakfast cereal  
Abiding for the sports utility vehicle to make the scene  
Syndicate monogrammed turtleneck  
Moronic ensanguined Martian holiday  
Dude, you have been a recalcitrant tyke  
You acquiesced to your countenance stretching vertically

I am the Oocyte Bloke  
They are the Ovum Brothers  
I am the Fat Pinniped  
Dove utterance  
Dove utterance  
Giant Disney snake  
Second half of a sneeze

Next up for the next willing pinniped: MacArthur Park.

The four-star general’s palisade is umbrally discorporating:  
Lo, how the glucal marzipan undulates earthward!  
A person or persons unknown abandoned the gateau to the precipitation  
And my own rationality is highly compromised  
For its generational process was prohibitively extenuated  
Additionally, I no longer am in possession of that particular prescription.  
Alas, Alack!

I cannot attain any primal sexual release  
I cannot attain any ritualized female attention for myself  
And I exert myself and I exert myself and I exert ex-ex-exert myself  
I cannot achieve any, I cannot achieve myself any

During the times I regard my electronic window on the world  
And a gentleman appears and informs me  
How bleached my upper body covering can become  
But he cannot be a gentleman  
Because he does not inhale  
The same noxious fumes from a stick of dried poisonous leaves as I do

_submission as per request_

Make your eight-cylinder piston arranged in a V configuration with common crankshaft horsepower producer with chrome plated grease nipples and double reverse overhead twin cam door handles operational.  
Embark upon the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense network  
Rubbernecking for expeditionary shits and giggles

At sunrise you’re off to punish the guy who drained your cistern  
And you find him and inflict fatal injury, but you can’t escape as you attempt to flee the country  
So then crowds gather to pay respect to the deceased while cheering your incarceration  
But a pardon from the governor saves you from a death sentence, and you’re released
