Millipede, millipede candlelight
doin' the town and doin' it right
in the evenin', it's pretty pleasin'

Millie Mollie, Millipede Man
Do the jitterbug
Out in the millipede land
And they shimmy
And Marty's not so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jinglin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like millipede love

Nibblin' on moss, chewin' on cheese
Marty says to Millie & Mollie
"Honeys, would you please be my missus?"
And they say yes with their kisses

And now he's ticklin' their fancy
Rubbin' their legs
muzzle to muzzle now
anything goes
as they wiggle
and Millie & Mollie start to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jinglin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like millipede love

well I'd read more imitiations. How about:



Someone, I am not sure who perpetrated the following,
probably on new:rec.arts.books.tolkien The speaker/singer
is Theoden:

I am the very model of a mediaeval Anglian
The truth of this suffuses every nerve and every ganglion
While some proclaim my folc (1) to be Germanic (miscellaneous)
I am in in fact bewildered by this theory extra-aneous
I'm neither Lombard, Hun or Goth or any of that eastern crowd
We're Anglo-Saxon to the core although we fight on horses proud
Some seem to think our armour bright could easily be Persian
But it is plain to see that it is mediaeval Mercian

Chorus:

But it is plain to see that it is mediaeval Mercian
But it is plain to see that it is mediaeval Mercian
But it is plain to see that it is mediaeval Merci-Mercian

Theoden...

We are the very model of the pre-Normanic Angelcynn (2)
We show it in the way we dress and in the way our songs are sung
In normal conversation we employ the language Mercian
And when we wish to swear, by heck! we don't just swear, we cursian
(3)
Our poetry's alliterative - it hardly ever rhymes at all
We gather round mead benches and tell epics in our Saxon hall
In matters of the hearth and hall, the homestead and the open weald
We are the very model of a mediaeval gefeald (4)

Chorus:

They are the very model of a mediaeval gefeald
They are the very model of a mediaeval gefeald
They are the very model of a mediaeval gefe- gefeald

Theoden...

I am the very model of a hlaford (5) straight from Beowulf
We go by names like Fram and Gram and Erkenbrand, Eorl and Wulf
My hall of Meduseld which shines like gold under the sunne (6) hot
Is obviously modelled on King Hrothgar's home of Heorot
In fact we are not modelled on the Anglians historical
We're more akin to mediaeval Mercians poetical
But be that as it may I offer up this statement once again
I am the very model of a mediaeval Anglian!
