I mean, what do you expect if you keep harpooning them? Hymn tune --
The ribs and terrors in the whale,
Arched over me a dismal gloom,
While all God's sun-lit waves rolled by,
And lift me deepening down to doom. --
by Philip Sainton. I suspect the sermons in this church are pretty one-note.

In my role as the man eating fish from the Bible, I am Mr. Tell-It-Like-It-Is: On the weekend there was a popular sporting championship of some sort held in my hometown. "You may feel this is important now," I told the celebrants. "But in the long run it is completely unimportant."

Bach Cult Alert! I dunno, this announcement sounds fishy forgery to me. "Premiere of 2 previously unknown Bach werks" with scant details. I will advise the Bachgesellschaft of my pricelist for previously unknown Bach works. I've got a whole locker of 'em. 2nd year theory assignments.

Can I call you Al? I get the sense you've got the sense of the dramatic. Why not try your hand at musical theatre? Get a couple half-decent operas under your belt, ones where the audience leaves the theatre humming the tunes. That's the mark of a good show.

That loveable scamp Harry Lime returns in his own radio series, a year or two after the "The Third Man" motion picture. When I take up financial crimes, no crypto swindles for me! No no nope, I'm gonna to open a florist shop across the street and tunnel into the bank vault for the fabulous loot.

Direct from The Holy Temple of Classical Music. The title is grammatically ambiguous. The noun 'kaiser' doesn't inflect for number in the nominative case. Therefore, a Liebesbrief to Franz Joseph I or Wilhelm II or both at the same time! Like they say in German, Kaisers is a Groshen a Duzent.

Nothing fits so well as an old Schumann. Here's Bob's Fasching Wank from Vienna a piano piece for the start of Carnival --and do the Germans ever wank early and often! Official start is November 11th at 11:11am. It's like they're suppressing some kind of bad memory with this collective horniness.

If I have to hear Dies irae one more time I am going screaming down to hell. It was cutesy the at first but it's getting on my nerves. Dies irae = Latin for lack of imagination. Plus, it's still under copyright by the biddies who own Happy Birthday.
