Three Little Males Play Boules


These words fit the music from "Three Little Maids" from the Mikado By Gilbert and Sullivan in the video clip below.If you play the video clip you can follow these words at the same time.

Three little paper cut-outs are we
Cool continental chaps we be
Avant garde hip bohemian twee
Three little males play boules
Vincent's brain swirls round in rum

Claude's quiet gentle paints for fun

Pablo's pushy outrageous and numb

Three little males play boules

CHORUS
Three famous painters came together
Arranged in plastic foliage paper
Standing upright on Rall's fine table

Three little males play boules
Three little males play boules

Vincent cut his ear in a rage thump thump
Claude painted flowers and fruit yum yum
Pablo was vain and a brute rump pump
Three little males play boules

Vincent paints red and yellow displays
Claude built a bridge in green and grey
Pablo loved bulls tortured Dora all day
Three little males play boules
Three little males play boules

CHORUS
Three famous painters came together
Arranged in plastic foliage paper
Standing upright on Rall's fine table

Three little males play boules
Three little males play boules

  1. Tell me we don't have to write new song lyrics or do paper crafting, Rall?! Très intelligent, très amusant, comme d'habitude!

  2. ¡híjole! la culpa la tienes tú

    Wow! I don't know any Spanish, so you have only yoursef to blame for what I will write! It's just as well I have until next Wednesday to come up with something.

    What a wonderful imagination you have, Rallentenda.

  6. Thank you Rall. I've often thought it would be fun to sit down and have a conversation with a group of poets from the past, but stopped that when I saw Emily walk in to be greeted by Alan. Couldn't do that to the poor soul, his or hers. This, your poem, was so much more fun, lol.

  7. Thanks Elizabeth.It is a pity you were not around for our Bukowski meets Shakespeare poem a while ago. You would have liked that one!

    For anyone who does not recognise the three paper cutout visual artists who live on my table
    They are:
    Vincent van Gogh
    Pablo Picasso
    Claude Monet

  8. You are too silly and fun!
    (It amazes me how last year at this time you didn't even know how to go about making a blog, and now you are a pro at it...how great is that?)

  10. Oh my goodness, Rall, this is RICH! I love it! You had me laughing out loud--and the paper dudes are way cool.

    I learn more about your creativity. Thank you for taking the time to do something so fun. You surprised me with this one, and impressed me, too. Bravo!
