Soccer Dad

In the panels of day by day

In case you haven't been following Chris Muir's Day by Day, blogger Meryl Yourish was just mentioned in a strip. Now I know that the bloggers Muir mentions are more influential than I am, but I wondered what it would be like if someone of his stature put me in his comic strip. That would be cool wouldn't it?

So I wrote some lyrics. (I admit, I'm pretty good with rhyming but pretty awful with meter.)

Apologies to Chris Muir (hopefully he has a sense of humor) whom I am now exploiting to get myself some attention, and to all of you who had to read this!

So with an apology to Dr Hook and the Medicine Show and a posthumous one to Shel Silverstein I wonder what it would be like to be in the Panels of "Day by Day."

"Panels of 'Day by Day'"

I'm a small time blogger
I have a beard like a logger
But I'm read all around the world.

I blog about Israel
And I blog about Bush
And scores have visited my URL.

I've been in carnivals
And I've been Instalanched
But the boast I could never say
Is the thrill that is sure
The day that Chris Muir
Puts me in the panels of Day by Day.

Day by day
What will my mother think?
Day
I'll send everyone the link.
Day
Wanna see my blogging name in the panels of Day by Day.

Morrisey's known as Captain Ed
And He's actually been mentioned by Zed*
Meryl Yourish, too, must be glad

LaShawn Barber's got a link
And I'd be tickled pink
If Damon would read Soccer Dad.

Day by Day
This is shameless self-promotion
Day
But I'll stop making a commotion
Day
When I'm mentioned in the panels of Day by Day.

* I don't remember who mentioned Captain's Quarters; give me some license here. Please?
