Topic: A Song About Cecil The Lion, Anyone?

I thought this might make an interesting topic for a song by one of you "Master Troubadors".

Re: A Song About Cecil The Lion, Anyone?

Cecil the lion was laying in the grass,
Along came a dentist who shot him in the ass
The dentist said I didn't know the lion
But we all know he was really lying.

Or "but we know he was lying about the lion."

Wellllll smile...... I was thinking maybe something like "The Ballad of Cecil" or something similar. Something with a "message"...... :0

Dino, I think you have misunderstood Bill in this instance. This is the 'Songwriting' section and I am sure that he offered it as a suggested topic for a new song to be composed.

Perhaps Bill should attempt writing a song too smile

I didn't want ruin this thread - so I posted a song I wrote about this as bill requested in a new one.  Hope you like it.

Roger

I have wanted to help more than I have been able to, but so far all I've been able to do is suggest corrections for semantics/grammar, etc.

However, I just told TIG I would help him with the chorus of his song about Cecil, which I love.

I really like writing about "topical" things, Roger.

Thanks

Bill
