The Lonely GOP-herd

(I have already posted this in Roy Edroso's comments, but I want to post it here as well to preserve it for posterity. It was inspired by comments from Kia and Mr. Wonderful.)

[Roy:]
High on the Hill was the lonely GOP-herd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely GOP-herd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Folks on the web who were quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Angry and clear from the GOP-herd's throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

[the Commenters:]
O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay

[Roy:]
A Fool on the bridge of the Starship Dolt heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Law teachers bad with a grudge to tote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

[the Commenters:]
Christianists mad for the chance to smote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

[Roy:]
Cheerleaders not wanting Browns to vote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

One grizz'ly girl, nails in bright red coats heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
She yodeled back to the lonely GOP-herd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Soon the girl's ear with a greedy gloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
What a duet for a girl and GOP-herd

[Roy and the Commenters:]
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Ummm (ummm) . . .
Odl lay ee (odl lay ee)
Odl lay hee hee (odl lay hee hee)
Odl lay ee . . .
. . . yodeling . . .

Happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o . . .
. . . yodeling . . .
Soon the duet will become a trio
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Odl lay ee, old lay ee
Odl lay hee hee, odl lay ee
Odl lay odl lay, odl lay odl lee, odl lay odl lee
Odl lay odl lay odl lay

[the Commenters:]
HOO!

I'm glad you posted this here, Susan. Given that Roy's old Alicublog comment thread dissapeared a few months ago its good that you put it up. Its just too good to lose.
