Today's silly aside

Is brought to you by the number 1 (coffees I had today) and the letter A (for the Avoidance of Actual Accomplishments).


The fug girls are now running a Friday competition where people can comment on photos in the poetic style chosen for that week. After giggling at the last couple of weeks, I submitted my own humble effort today, because frankly, the alternative is actually working on the new novella I've started writing. 
So behold, a song in honour of Katy Perry's peach-prom-wreck dress at the MTV awards, in the style of another Perry:



Oh Holy Night, a la Perry Como:
Oh holy fug,
The light is shining brightly
Through the holes in Katy Perry's skirt.
Long may her stylist, in sin and error pining,
Be reviled, for horror such as this.
A thrill of shock. A weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious fug.

Fall on your knees
Oh witness new excesses
On MTV
In peach satin and tulle
Oh fug.
Oh holey fug.
