I told my kids a story tonight at bed about a Fler named Herb from the planet Flerb. In my story Herb was from a town called Flercher where every year they danced the Flerch on the flerch of July. This collective act lit up the sky for the year from their energy. But... Herbs mom and dad move to a new town called, "Hiddock" where they don't believe in Flerching or Flerch Music.... Long story short, I told my kids an intergalactic version of Foot Loose tonight.
Then, I quickly penned this:
Herb Was a Fler from Flerb
Herb was a Fler from Flerb
He was the best flercher in all of the world
When others caught sight
Try as they might
The could never match Herbs
High flerching delights
One day on the flerch of July
Herb managed the whole world to fly
All of Flerb knew
That all they need do
Was dance the flerch, like Herb
And, "poof!" They all flew
Now every Fler knows
Cause they learn it in school
That Herb was the first Fler
To flerch in to flight
And now the kids sing
A song late July nights
All about Herb and his flerch to great heights
And what a good feeling
For the young Flers to feel
That they too could flerch great
And sign a flerch contract deal
With the NFA and flerch on TV
All of Flerb watching and
celebrating thee
But the truth is most flers
Will never be famous
They'll scrape doggles off the biscus
Or wait grapschlings for payments
Most flers will find they just barely get by
on half flerkting a week
working two jobs on the side
Most flers will die young
With a muzzle full of garnt
Dranned if the do
Dranned if they don't.
Nope! Most flers will never make it off Flerb
Most will never be as famous as
The great fler Herb!
