A gift for Miss Murchison (warning---bad poetry alert!)

Following up on a conversation with [livejournal.com profile] missmurchison this afternoon about her Buffy-Spike-Angel threesome fics -- and with a shout-out to Alton Brown of "Good Eats!" -- I offer this modest proposal in mangled verse:


There are some things that don't really mix,
Like vampires and sharp wooden sticks --
That's how it is now and ever has been.
Angel and Buffy have felt a compulsion
To mate, but their love needs emulsion --
To their mayonnaise, Spike's lecithin!

On their own, oil and lemon add flavor,
And combined, they've a tang that we savor,
Though their union seems doomed not to last.
Now, the brooding and drama and fighting
Of the B/A were always exciting
. . . and short-lived! But that's all in the past.

Spike began as a vampire Sid Vicious,
But he stuck (like dried egg yolk on dishes!),
And his ending should not be insipid.
Let a lasting relationship form
Among three heroes (two cold, and one warm),
With Spike's 'egg yolk' the key phospholipid!



I hope you like it, Miss M!

I'll start trying to think up a rhyme for "flying buttresses" next.

P.S. -- For more on lipid molecules and chemical bonds (comprehensible even to those of us who never got beyond high school science) plus a very nice mayonnaise recipe thrown in, check out this college biology course website: http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio104/lipids.htm

I followed the link, but all it leads to is the word "SEUSS" with no apparent links to a photo or anything -- was that what you intended? Or am I just demonstrating, yet again, that I'm computer clueless?

Hmm, not being a fully fledged geek I can't see what the prob is. I can follow the link fine. maybe you have to sign in to yahoo. If I weren't so drunk I would upload onto my geocities webspace but I can't remember how to do it. Gadzooks, how embarrassing.
