“Spoon”

(a song parody, to the tune of “June”)

Spoon, you’re the blunted prong I depend upon.

Oh, spoon, would you touch my tongue, and empty out your bowl?

Hey, it is time that I gave my soup a try.

Oh, spoon, would you touch my tongue, and empty out your bowl?

Remember when I bought you, and went in debt?

And the way I positioned you when the table was set?

Dessert is what I crave at the ending of the day.

So, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee. (Mmm, mmm!)

Oh, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee.

Spoon, can you help a guy to lift his yogurt high?

Oh, spoon, would you touch my tongue, and empty out your bowl?

Say, could you possibly get corn flakes fed to me?

Oh, spoon, would you touch my tongue, and empty out your bowl?

Remember when I washed you, and you got wet?

And the bowlful of aloe vera I ate on a bet?

Dessert is what I crave when my taste buds want to play.

So, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee. (Mmm, mmm!)

Oh, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee.

Oh, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee. (Mmm, mmm!)

Oh, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee. (Yum, yum, yum, yum!)

Oh, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee.

OMG… That’s funny… Good one David…. Luv it (almost choked on my Tim Hortons English Breakfast Tea while reading and kinda singing along with it in my head as I chuckled too) You were long overdue for another… You did not disappoint.. I need to write a new poem for you too, been awhile… Thankyou for making my Sunday evening ?

  Thank you, Jacki. I always enjoy reading your poems, no matter whom or what they’re about.

Yep, Jacki, truly awesome. A great parody of such a beautiful song David which, unfortunately, I am never going to be able to listen to in the same way again! “Oh, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee. (Mmm, mmm!)”.

  Thanks, Howard! Sorry to “ruin” this wonderful song, but the stomach wants what the stomach wants.
  
  What you quoted was actually the first line I came up with when I was casting about for ideas, at which point my mind green-lighted it for further development. It’s all about the hook!

I challenge you to sing along with this MonaLisa song, substituting David’s “Spoon” lyrics, while keeping a straight face! I recommend you have your dessert first!

Of course I did Howard in my head as I was reading David’s parody.. Lol…One has to aloud (depending if at privacy of at home or brave to do so in out in public or if out n about, in one’s head but chuckle now and then and have folks give you strange looks while one enjoys a tea /Wi-Fi at a Tim Hortons) to have the ultimate Parody MLTBuzzGroovy Experience…
