Based on All Kinds of Everything, Ireland 1970

Discounts on surgeries, grannies who won’t die,
Sax gods with sexy bods, swimmers not shy.
Brains for snacks, golf course shacks, sex at the zoo,
These are the silly themes good writers eschew

Llamas, grandmamas, dead yet alive,
Girls who like bagels, men who like pies.
Polar bear with combed hair, and dance hall blues,
These are the silly themes good writers eschew

Robo girls, disco whirls, and genders confused,
Burger whores and Magyar hordes,
Librarians, too.

Songs soon forgotten, grown kids who’re stuck,
Lackluster battle cries, kid songs with “fuck”.
Underground holy men, a chimp who flings poo,
These are the silly themes good writers eschew.

Stoic girls, monster love, nipples slipping too,
Scrubbing fingers all the time,
Are themes that just won’t do.

Nonsense soundalikes, things about butts,
Paeans to talk show hosts, condos with God.
Spoiled brats, deadly cats, a pirate or two,
These are the silly themes, good writers eschew.

These are the silly themes, that we have produced.
