FOR ALL YOU LEXOPHILES (LOVERS OF WORDS) 1. A bicycle can't stand alone because it is two-tired. 2. What's the definition of a will? (It's a dead giveaway.) 3. Time flies like an arrow -- Fruit flies like a banana. 4. A backward poet writes inverse. 5. In a democracy, it's your vote that counts; In feudalism, it's your count that votes. 6. A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion. 7. If you don't pay your exorcist you get repossessed. 8. With her marriage she got a new name and a dress. 9. Show me a piano falling down a mine shaft and I'll show you A-flat minor. 10. When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds. 11. The man who fell into an upholstery machine is fully recovered. 12. A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart. 13. You feel stuck with your debt if you can't budge it. 14. Local Area Network in Australia: the LAN down under. 15. He often broke into song because he couldn't find the key. 16. Every calendar's days are numbered. 17. A lot of money is tainted. 'Taint yours and 'taint mine. 18. A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat. 19. He had a photographic memory that was never developed. 20. A plateau is a high form of flattery. 21. The short fortuneteller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large. 22. Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end. 23. When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall. 24. Those who jump off a Paris bridge are in Seine. 25. When an actress saw her first strands of gray hair she thought she'd dye. 26. Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead to know basis. 27. Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses. 28. Acupuncture is a jab well done. 29. Marathon runners with bad footwear suffer the agony of defeat. IP: Logged |

I think "Weird Al" Yankovic just might be a lexophile. A prime example is his song "Bob", which consists of rhyming palindromes parodying Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues". Here's a link to the video on YouTube... "Weird Al" Yankovic - Bob IP: Logged |

Here's a couple stills from the video for you... *windows leaking with laughter* (Lisa Bonet legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon, but I think she still goes by Lisa Bonet professionally.)

Maybe he'll do this one. Bet RA would have a field day with it. quote:
"Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" I was riding on the Mayflower When I thought I spied some land I yelled for Captain Arab I have yuh understand Who came running to the deck Said, “Boys, forget the whale Look on over yonder Cut the engines Change the sail Haul on the bowline” We sang that melody Like all tough sailors do When they are far away at sea “I think I’ll call it America” I said as we hit land I took a deep breath I fell down, I could not stand Captain Arab he started Writing up some deeds He said, “Let’s set up a fort And start buying the place with beads” Just then this cop comes down the street Crazy as a loon He throw us all in jail For carryin’ harpoons Ah me I busted out Don’t even ask me how I went to get some help I walked by a Guernsey cow Who directed me down To the Bowery slums Where people carried signs around Saying, “Ban the bums” I jumped right into line Sayin’, “I hope that I’m not late” When I realized I hadn’t eaten For five days straight I went into a restaurant Lookin’ for the cook I told them I was the editor Of a famous etiquette book The waitress he was handsome He wore a powder blue cape I ordered some suzette, I said “Could you please make that crepe” Just then the whole kitchen exploded From boilin’ fat Food was flying everywhere And I left without my hat Now, I didn’t mean to be nosy But I went into a bank To get some bail for Arab And all the boys back in the tank They asked me for some collateral And I pulled down my pants They threw me in the alley When up comes this girl from France Who invited me to her house I went, but she had a friend Who knocked me out And robbed my boots And I was on the street again Well, I rapped upon a house With the U.S. flag upon display I said, “Could you help me out I got some friends down the way” The man says, “Get out of here I’ll tear you limb from limb” I said, “You know they refused Jesus, too” He said, “You’re not Him Get out of here before I break your bones I ain’t your pop” I decided to have him arrested And I went looking for a cop I ran right outside And I hopped inside a cab I went out the other door This Englishman said, “Fab” As he saw me leap a hot dog stand And a chariot that stood Parked across from a building Advertising brotherhood I ran right through the front door Like a hobo sailor does But it was just a funeral parlor And the man asked me who I was I repeated that my friends Were all in jail, with a sigh He gave me his card He said, “Call me if they die” I shook his hand and said goodbye Ran out to the street When a bowling ball came down the road And knocked me off my feet A pay phone was ringing It just about blew my mind When I picked it up and said hello This foot came through the line Well, by this time I was fed up At tryin’ to make a stab At bringin’ back any help For my friends and Captain Arab I decided to flip a coin Like either heads or tails Would let me know if I should go Back to ship or back to jail So I hocked my sailor suit And I got a coin to flip It came up tails It rhymed with sails So I made it back to the ship Well, I got back and took The parkin’ ticket off the mast I was ripping it to shreds When this coastguard boat went past They asked me my name And I said, “Captain Kidd” They believed me but They wanted to know What exactly that I did I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed They let me go right away They were very paranoid Well, the last I heard of Arab He was stuck on a whale That was married to the deputy Sheriff of the jail But the funniest thing was When I was leavin’ the bay I saw three ships a-sailin’ They were all heading my way I asked the captain what his name was And how come he didn’t drive a truck He said his name was Columbus I just said, “Good luck” Copyright © 1965 by Warner Bros.
