- This is from a lesser known Gilbert & Sullivan opera called:
-
- THE BRAVADO
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- (Coincidentally, it sounds *exactly* like the "Titwillow" song, from
- THE MIKADO. Go figure the odds, -eh?)
-
- THE TWITT PHIL-O SONG
-
- In an alt. group I noticed a writer from TIME(tm)
- Named Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o.
- And I said to him: Elmer, boy ... why write that slime?
- "Oh, Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o!"
- He said: Truth is too boring. You need to enhance.
- And a piece about porno will sell at a glance.
- (And then Exon can wave it and wet in his pants.)
- "I'm Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o!"
-
- I know all the buzzwords, but hereby confess
- Sing: "Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o!"
- That I don't know the net from a pay BBS.
- "So? Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o."
- My method of writing is shoddy and lax.
- I write my conclusions and *then* gather facts.
- It's a style that makes me the envy of hacks.
- "No, Phil-o, your quill-o writes swill-o!"
-
- I've been viciously flamed. I endured it with smiles.
- "Aww, Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o!"
- But I have my supporters (they're called PED-ophiles).
- Sing: "Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o, Twitt Phil-o!"
- I'm a *media-whore* (I'll admit what they say).
- It's a fitting description for my resume'.
- It applies to a guy who gives Rimm-jobs for pay!
- "Oh, Phil-o, your skill-o is nil-o !"
