A Tragimerick
By Katanga

Just for fun - a new genre? The Tragimerick! Probably been done to death before, but not to my certain knowledge . . .

This first feeble effort is based on the well known ( but maybe not to all? So I reproduce it here) song, 'Michael Finnegan:

There was an old man called Michael Finnegan -
He grew whiskers on his chinnegan.
The wind came up and blew them in again!
Poor old Michael Finnegan!

Begin again!

There was an old man called Michael Finnegan . . .

[I love it - it never stops!]

Enjoy!

Ps Does anyone know if M.F. was a real character? I shall google him in the morning . . .

Cheers!

Poor Old Michael Finnegan




Do you remember Michael Finnegan

Who grew whiskers on his chin again?

Well the sun came out

But it helped him nowt.

Dead - he'll never begin again.

Begin again . . .

Begin again . . .

Begin again . . .

Begin again . . .

Begin again . . .
