I feel a bit guilty, but she *will* go all nasally...

Eleanor Beardsley
Sounds like she lives
In a tiki head under the sea,
Right next to Spongebob.

Eleanor Beardsley
Cephalopods
Sound like that when they're seen on TV,
Talking to Spongebob.

All of Squidward's fans, now,
At home and in the car,
All of Squidward's fans, now,
Are tuned to NPR.

That shook loose a silly thought I had after seeing the title of the
first track on Wilderwood's CD. This too is an insta-; polishing
suggestions are welcome.


Eleanor Reigning (ttto Eleanor Rigby)


Alianor Regina
Duchess of Aquitaine when she was only a teen
Then twice a Queen

First married Louis
Sought an annullment 'till finally Louis said "Done --
You've borne me no son"

All those royal people
Come here and take a look:
All those royal people
They're in the hist'ry book

Henry of Normandy
Took her to wife just two months after she became free
What did he see

Just two years later
Henry became King of England, and she Queen again
Her second reign

All those royal people
Change partners in the dance
All those royal people
She got her second chance

Henry of Normandy
Set her aside after Alian bore eight little ones
Three girls, five sons

But she outlived him
And lived on in honor as three of her sons become King
Let the bells ring

All those royal people
The gods above had blessed
All those royal people
They're on the mid-term test!


[And if anyone wants it, "Eleanor Rugby" is still up for grabs.]

Nicely done.

Have you ever heard the old folksong, "Queen Eleanor's Confession"?

Thank 'e kindly. If you can use it (as filler?), you're welcome to it.

No, but I suppose I should look it up. Tnx for passing the pointer.

Thank you. I've done so.

My own use of the Beatle song was done for Eleanor as a vampire,
eventually staked by Father McKenzie, which appears in a FILKER UP.

I think I remember hearing that one. Not sure whether it was from you
and Barry or someone else.

[If a gambling vampire goes broke, I presume he does not ask someone to
stake him...]
