Mary Poppins and Blogging

I have sadly realized English 222 American Literature may not be as "easy" as English 223. The selections thus far have been complicated. The self discipline to get through the text has left me scrambling for the skills I know I possess: yet, I have had difficulty implementing. I felt so much relief when the mid-term blogging was announced. A glimmer of hope is what this meant to me. I love to blog. I have always enjoyed letting out the rambles my mind holds on a daily basis. I once was a person that transcribed my idea onto paper like most people converse with others. I have felt for years that my fingers have better ideas than my mouth could ever express. I'll thank Mrs. Terpstra (my typing teacher for the four years of tutelage during high school). I learned to type on one of those machines which actually prints as you press the keys--a typewriter. The old-school ways brought me to an even older-school love of mine: Mary Poppins. I love the story. I love the movie; hence, this remake/rendition of silliness.

I love to blog
Loud and long and clear
I love to blog
It's getting worse every year

The more I blog
The more I type with glee
and the more the glee
The more I'm a typier me

Some people tweet with their thumbs
Sounding something like this "click click click"
Some people post on their facebook pages
Whining and crying like babes

Some post too fast
Some merely share
Other's, they twitter like birds
Then there's the kind
What can't hash tag their mind

When things strike me as worthy
I can't hold it inside
and blog -as the bloggers do
I've got to let go with a blog blog blog 
and a ger ger ger too!

We love to blog
Loud and long and clean
We love to blog
So everybody can read
The more you blog
The more you fill with glee
and the more the glee
The more there's a typier me!

Yes folks, I just re-wrote a blogger rendition of the Mary Poppin's song "I Love to Laugh." Yes folks, I am aware of the nerd value of producing such a thing; however, I do not worry about such things. 

Supercalifragilisticexpialidociously yours,
O'Livie

  1. Very nice! I'll be waiting for your next installment, a blogger rendition of Chim Chimney perhaps?

    1. My favorite song from that musical is "Feed the Birds." So beautiful and melodic. I may throw the lyrics on one of my blogs. I always over-blog for these sessions because I have so many ideas to share. Luckily you all are "forced" readers so I do not have to worry about not having any followers.
