Limerick-Uke-Saga: "DODECANESE ISLANDS", a song for hellenophiles and history buffs


UKE-SONG, derived from lyrics of a multi-verse limerick.



ORIGINAL SONG: These verses can be sung to "The Limerick Song", as per YouTube HERE.

ORIGINAL POETRY LYRICS: Original verses were composed by registered pseudonym Giorgio Coniglio, November 2016. After undergoing their rigorous collaborative editing process, these have been published as a "brief saga", a poetic entity of three or more stanzas, on the poetry website OEDILF (Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form); they have then been displayed as poetry lyrics on our blog "Daily Illustrated Nonsense". Click HERE to review Giorgio's blogged poem.

SETTING WORDS TO MUSIC: Readers might be interested to know that of more than 1000 short poems that we have published, only 50 or so would qualify as "brief sagas". Although almost any limerick verse (e.g. the "Nantucket limericks") can be set to music, we were particularly interested in exploring this transitioning for these multiverse poems that warrant the time to pick up your ukulele.

The tunes we have exploited in this effort include, not surprisingly "The Limerick Song". But on occasion we have also used (minor modifications may be required)  "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?", "The Anniversary Song", "Summertime", 
"Up", and "Santa Lucia".

SONG-LINKS: Check out all of Giorgio's song-posts dealing with travel to Greece. These include "Acropolis", "Aegean Cat", "Cyclades Islands", and "Singable Limericks: Using Greek Words". (There are also many shorter illustrated verses, remaining under the poetry rubric that can be found on "Daily Edifying Nonsense", although these, too, are singable).
