I'm listening to my iTunes Party Mix. I look at the titles that are coming up and it occurs to me that, with just a few words tucked in here and there, they form some amusing semi-poetic doggerel. So I thought I'd share (added words are underlined; all punctuation is added):
Many Meetings
Say It Isn't So, "Lucky" One.
The Great Pretender comes in My Back Door and says:
"Turn Your Eyes To Jesus, Goody Two Shoes!"
I ran down The Secret Stair (pt 1), and escaped Through The Never.
But an Angel From Montgomery appeared...and I don't mean the kind with wings, nudge nudge wink wink.
There's Something In The Way She Moves, that angel, that makes my Pencil Rain.
The real song titles are:
