I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

Once again upon the Sabbath Day,
(like I do on every week this time)
I take the Gonzo Daily blog
and do the bloody thing in rhyme,
I'm not sure why I started or,
why I still stretch my mental sinew,
except that it amuses me,
and whilst it does I will continue.

So let's start with a disturbing tale,
of Hawkwind fans branded pariahs
but when you dig too deeply here
some claim the journalists were liars,
others say there was no show
and that the story is simply untrue,
we are still investigating,
so we can bring the truth to you...

Last week Norlander read my rhymes
I wrote when I was drinking lager,
and he said that I should write one
that read like a Viking saga,
but I'm not sure how to do that
with this nice review of Erik's tunes,
but I don't know how to combine this with
longships and horned hats and runes

I have always been a massive fan
of the man whose name was Don Van Vliet
and my family watched the DVD
Gonzo put out the other night
'why did he call himself Beefheart?'
my mother-in-law asked of me
I just blushed and told her she
should watch this documentary

They've been a favourite band of mine
since back in 1973,
and so its nice for me to post
this slice of Yes' history
and here is something I'd not heard
and something I will not forget
about how in 1968
Chris Squire and Jon Anderson met

And it would not be a Sunday blog
although the rest is quite diverse,
I always try to find the space
for 8 lines of Liz Lenten verse,
because her album Indian Summer
is really bloody good you know,
so each week I still try to plug it,
and I've done it once again (ho ho)
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/in-which-jon-nicks-some-arty-pictures.html

And finally, a picture of a middle-aged
hippy who writes dreadful rhymes they say,
with a book he received from the postman,
and a bottle of chardonnay
should he read or should he drink,
the conundrum is too much to ask,
so in the end he just does both
who says that men can't multi task?

And so another week is ended,
and that's the end of my bad verse
but each day this blog will still continue
chronicling the Gonzo universe.
