but if you're going to lampoon a popular classic, you have to hold to its form. The breaks in meter here:
""Come here daughters, my son and my Bill!
Do as I say and you may survive still"
"I'll change all the plans from minute to minute,
And don't you dare complain or you're deeper in shit"
"Now up on your toes
Every single one, you ungrateful children
Don't you want to have fun?"
"And what's that you say?!
Is that a complaint?!!
Why you have some nerve, I'm always a saint"
"You always had magic at Christmas time
When you were too young to stand up to contradictions of mine""
throw the pace off. I think if you buckled down the metric breaks you'd have a pretty fair rendition of the original.
I think this poem must be the most lampooned of any out there. There is a website that collects all the different versions. You might want to run a google and send them yours.
