Genre Redux redux: Dog Star, by Shay

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Some of you may recognize this; last year I posted it to povetry_slam, the twisted brainchild of Lyra and Lynn -- there were about ten members on that comm. But I was inspired by lucifercircle's creativity in writing a folk song, and thought you might forgive the recycling of Used Poetry. Hopefully it will be new to most of you.

Suffice to say it's, uh, slam poetry. By Diefenbaker.



I got the woof
I got the power
I got the moves
I got the hunger

I got the leap
I got the bound
I got the wolf
I got the hound

I got the bitches
I got the plan
I got three squares
I got the Man

I got the city
I got the snow
What more you need, Man?
Hell if I know

omg, I hadn't seen this before. I just BURST OUT LAUGHING on my couch. You TOTALLY just channeled Dief. I APPLAUD YOU, MAN! *hearts*

I wonder what it means that some of my most effective flashfic have been from Dief's perspective.
Never mind. I think I know what it means.

OK, that's pretty fucking funny.

;P (doggy grin)

This is great! It is so Dief, it really sounds like him. And it works. And you can read all of it in one sitting.

Although, intrestingly enough, I can hear 'Ain't Got No/I Got Life' as I read this.

Heh. Thanks. And...woof!

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Hee! This is great!

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

OMG Dief raps! Love this! It's so very Dief. He got the MAN. :)

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

He do indeed.

::grin:: Yay, yay, yay. That made me laugh.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Yay!
(OMFG, what a funny icon you have!)

::laugh:: Isn't that a delight? It comes to me via copperbadge, and I have no idea what comic strip it comes from, but it just seems so appropriate so often...

How did I miss this?

Well, I'm glad I found it now, because I needed a laugh and I got a good belly type one from this. I want to see the video. :p

Now THERE's a thought. Clearly Dief needs a definitive theme song, rather like "Zebra" for Ray Kowalski. Thanks for reading.

On the inside Dief's a poet.
