What better way to celebrate my 100th blog post than a poem about blogland?
So my thanks to Mar who came up with the idea and to Jon Cozart for the tune and song in general which enabled me to write this parody. Originally I intended this to actually be 99 verses and for this to be a lot more personal involving the actual people of blogland. But instead I wrote this nine verse parody as it means all verses have a tune and it flows well and as I couldn't mention everyone in nine verses I decided to make it a history of Derek's actual blog with only small references to the community that has grown up around it.
Anyway I hope you all like it.
Enjoy and DFTBA!

Blogland In (Ninety)-Nine
Verses
There
once was a guy named Derek
Destined
to be a star
The
author of Skulduggery
From
Ireland his fame spread far
Yo
Derek! You’re amazing!
After
three books published
Derek
started blogging
Under
duress from a gentleman
With
a golden crossbow
People
started commenting
And
many started following
Poor
Derek couldn’t do a thing
But
watch and moan
The
blog it grew
Soon
an interview
With
the much admired Laura
Derek
toured Australia
And
praised the mighty fedora
Constant
updates about his life
Earthquake
in New Zealand caused strife
His
niece is his niece
His
dog’s his dog
And
soon the weirdo freaks are rife
They
formed an army
Of
ninja leprechaun minion things
Who
started a bizarre community
I
don’t really get it either.
Doo
doo doo
Friendships
were formed
And
we all wrote long fan fiction
With
vampires and con-maids
Oh
no! Fletcher Hair-Dude gets slain!
Then
xat.
Derek,
Derek it’s getting scary
Friends
turn on friends
Arguments
make people wary Derek
Keep
the peace, keep the peace
Suddenly
a bond does cease
The
end of their “wedded bliss”
Many
try to leave the chat
Yet
strict rules put an end to that
So
increases hostility
Merry
days of old as dead as can be!
Years
go by
We
laugh and we cry
Encompassing
Both
weddings and death.
There
once was a guy named Derek
Whose
awesomeness reigned supreme
The
tale of Skulduggery will go on
The
ending still just a dream
Octa, that is just amazing!

ReplyDeleteTHAT WAS EPIC!!
I love it SO much!!
Fletcher doesn't get slain though :/ He would never do that to me. He loves me! And his hair is AMAZING!! No one can diss My Fletchy's hair :P
I love it so much!!
I often considered killing him off in some fanfiction or other back in the early days :P
ReplyDeleteHowever I've grown to love him. He is rather adorable.
I have loved him since the very beginning. *nods*
DeleteHe is Amazing.
And I hate Valkyrie for what she did. When I read it the first thing I said was GO DIE (directed at Valkyrie)
I always hated Caelan. I celebrated when he died :P
Ha! That was awesome :D
ReplyDeleteAnd funny... "I don't really get it either"
Hehehehe :P
This is so cool and awesome :D
