Satire— Table of Contents (TOC)

A brief synopsis & links to unusual views of everyday life from Rawhide to lettuce to dancing in stories and song

Synopsis

  • Subjects: Modified lyrics for karaoke songs, everyday events
  • Most surprising: On the dance floor, I felt someone grab my butt!

TOC Methodology

  • Medium has made it extremely difficult for a new reader to see your entire portfolio. Even a TOC with all of my articles is long. This post is a sub-category with descriptions and links to my articles.
  • Sections: One
  • Example:
  • The lyrics are certainly different from the original “Rawhide” although the name is still embedded in the same place — different meaning.
  • I never did anything like that in my life — not even in 5th grade! Like most people, I was terrorized.
  • Now, almost 2 years later and at age 74, I have 12 songs and do at least one nearly every week.
  • Short version article
  • Instead of singing “Happy Birthday” to get the desired 40 seconds, sing this.
  • Starting lyrics: As I wash along I’m 6 feet from where you’ve gone …
  • Do you name your devices?
  • How many pregnancy tests do old women need — over 100 in stock
  • And these men want to control abortion
  • My wife chastised me for naming them in alphabetical order
  • I always liked to solve practical problems that interfered with people’s lives.
  • My poor trainee from NYC asked, “Does lettuce grow underground?”
  • I felt someone grab my butt!
  • Not satire, but a real-life event that seemed to fit
  • The website said the item was located at z21
  • z21 did not exist
  • What bet are you making?
