Take My Life...PLEASE!

Stushie is way too good at hymn parodies for his own sanity (exhibits A and B). Thus, I'm providing an outlet for him here where we keep things indifferent. To start the mix, I propose my rendition of Take My Life (Hendon) in antiphonal response.

Husband
Take my wife and let me be,
Distracted by my TV
Through vacation and sick days;
Lord please help me get that raise.
Lord please help me get that raise.
Wife
Take my "love," my Lord, I bore.
I'll sleep better without his snore.
In a land where I am free
Divorce costs a tiny fee.
Divorce costs a tiny fee.
Teenage kid
Take my mommy and my dad.
All they do is make me mad.
"Get off MySpace!" "Stop that chat!"
Without them, I'd be called phat.
Without them, I'd be called phat.
Stushie is goint to outdo me on this, but I thought I'd toss in a nugget anyway.

    I just couldn't resist the challenge...

    Church

    Take PC from USA
    Lead us back to yesterday
    When we knew what to believe
    Safe from those who would deceive
    Safe from those who would deceive.

    Take my church and property
    From a thieving polity
    Here I stand in You alone,
    Take it all, it is Thine own
    Take it all, it is Thine own.

    Now that milk shot out my nose from laughing so hard....

    I'm with you, Stush. We "conservatives" are fervently expecting the imminent, bodily return of 1955....

    Glad to be of service with your nasal ablutions...

    Now here's a challenge - how would Yoda from Star Wars write Psalm 23?

    Here's a starter...

    My shepherd, the Lord is
    Want not shall I
    Lie me down in pastures green, He makes
    Still waters besides...

    BTW, my main daily blog is at www.glenkirk.blogspot.com...you've linked my name to the weekly religious news site..

    Clever lads.

    It'd take me three days to come up with stuff like this.

    Fixed the link - thanks for the heads up. In high school, a few of us geeks were watching SW when we noticed that Yoda's syntax follows - in large part - German syntax (with the notable exception of swapping the placement of forms of "be" with the infinite verbs).

    Hasn't there already been a version like that, though?
