ORIGINAL SONG: These verses can be sung to "The Limerick Song", as per YouTube HERE.
INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS:
A limerick: a verse that is singable
(If the diction's not flagrantly flingable);
Brings a humorous note
To a view you'd promote --
And it rings, like a bell ding-alingable.
Giorgio Coniglio.
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, the 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, based on their format and length, 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 transitiioning 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", a vehicle we have used today. But on occasion we have also used (minor modifications may be required) the songs "Up" (Shania Twain), "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?", "The Anniversary Song", "Summertime" and "Santa Lucia".
PARODY-LINKS: We regret that to date we have no other posted songs dealing with dental issues. But you could check out Giorgio's collected series of limerick poems on another eight of these topics, collected for your convenience in "Dental Feelings", a post on our encyclopedic blog "Edifying Nonsense". AND, please bear in mind, that all of these limerick-based songs could be easily sung to the same tune, especially after your experience on this post with "Fluoridation". So keep ukulele, guitar, or other stringed instruments at hand, and click HERE.
