about

Notes: I wrote and published this two-stanza limerick a couple of decades before Pixar's delightful "Wall-E" robot arrived. And fewer "ear vs. eye puns" in this one!

lyrics

The Shape of Things to Come

A robotics researcher named Wally
Built a robot bombshell he dubbed "Dolly"
. . .With a bountiful baud;
. . .But his jealous wife, Maud,
Removed baud-y bits, now it's "Ollie."

Then to make Wally jealous, Maud bought
A robot called "Rod Megawatt."
. . .She's so hot for her Rod,
. . .Wally queried of Maud:
"Just what hath Rod got that I've not?!"

For music fans who think outside the boxy confines of genre labels, find here my original work arranged for and performed on a variety of instruments for sounds ranging from sweet to sassy and reedy to brassy; from lofty to lowdown and soulful to hoedown; from serious to silly and urban to hillbilly. I urge you to click on my production notes/lyrics before or as you push play. ☼♥ ... more
