To the tune (sort of)
When I was a Lad
The HMS Petifore
When Bill T. was a lad he strived to learn
Under teachers that were both strict and stern
They pushed him to think and use his mind
And to use his powers to serve all mankind
He developed a wit so sharp and quick
Now he’s writing comments about a comic strip
Now Bills comments are a joy to read
They’re not just some hackneyed screed
He tries to make some sense of this mess
Some don’t appreciate genius I must guess
They need stop complaining and get a grip
About his writing comments about a comic strip
Out of nowhere they feel the need to opine
They complain how he makes use of his time
But the majority of us here all agree
What he writes we can’t wait to see
So let’s all try be a brick and not a prick
About his writing comments about a comic strip.
