Something Completely Different
The long wait is finally over,
It was the full two decade argument,
But they’ve managed to get it together,
And the Pythons have decided to relent.
All of them might now be in their seventies,
And it may be just a financial wheeze,
But Gilliam, Idle and Palin,
Are coming back with Jones and with Cleese.
Of course Graham Chapman couldn’t make it,
For obvious reasons we know to be true:
For some years now he’s been “just resting”
Like the old famous Norwegian Blue.
Yes he’s shuffled off this mortal coil,
After too many years of getting pissed.
He’s deceased, and gone to meet his maker,
He is no more, he’s ceased to exist.
So the rest will carry on without him,
And hope that they can all get along,
But some sketches just won’t be the same,
Take for instance The Lumberjack Song.
The Gumbys and the Piranha Brothers,
Harry “Snapper” Organs of Q Division,
Spiny Norman, a man with three buttocks,
And nobody expects The Spanish Inquisition.
The Popular Front of Judea,
Knights that go “Nimh”, and all of that jam,
An Albatross, and Every Sperm Is Sacred,
All served up with Spam, Egg & Chips…and Spam!
The Life of Brian, mocking religion,
Playing word-games both clever and coy,
Always Looking On The Bright Side of Life,
Not being evil, just a Very Naughty Boy.
The Upper Class Twit of The Year Show,
A Holy Grail, and sketches both daft and plucky:
We loved The Ministry of Silly Walks,
Back in those golden days “We Were Lucky!”
Anyway, they say they’ve settled their differences,
It’ll be a golden payday that’s hard to begrudge,
The latest revival of a dead parrot,
Not so much “wink, wink”, as “nudge, nudge”.
Let’s just hope that they’re not going to fail:
For me, It’s……. great comedy gold,
The Meaning of Life, and The Holy Grail.
