Re: And the drum played

Ha. Sorry Haruna, but I really did have to laugh at this one. Good idea, but I agree with Phonoho. It's not quite a true parody since it wasn't in the same style as the original. And I agree with you that your aba rhyme scheme does add bounce (which is nice in a humorous piece) but it takes the poem away from parody...And I really wish you would have added a bit more of the dramatic tone we got from And The Violin Played, which would really have (again)defined this as a parody. Ah well. Great idea, Timmay. I enjoyed it very much! ^_^
