Buc's Bottom of the Barrel


Buc McMaster

Recommended Posts

Sometimes ye need to sit back and wonder

if it's all been a bit of a blunder

A Uke's not on par with a tasty guitar

what spell is the bold Bucaroo under?

 

Exclamations, declarations, "I'm done"

but PM was there pokin' fun

It's a hawaiian midget axe if we're pointin' out facts

I'll finish this verse with a "c'mon son..."

 

The last one, an only three lines to go

an this one is just here for show

I wouldnae like to bet, this will end in regret

but then again ye just never know

Now that was excellent, PM! Of course it doesn't qualify for the contest but it sure is fine! A definite Honorable Mention for that one, sir!

 

You folks are great! I figured this might be fun but it's been a barrel of laughs! So tomorrow this time we'll have two nominations for each, the capo and the picks........the forum will speak!

 

PS...........as a little added bonus one of the winners will also receive this pack of genuine Rev. Billy Gibbons Lucky Mojo playing cards, given to me perhaps 20 years ago by the Rev himself. I think I traded him a small nose art decal for these.............he was into that stuff back then......may still be for all I know.... Still sealed in the original plastic wrap, untouched by human hands. A collectors item for any ZZ Top fan!

Come to me for I am

As yet attached to no

Pitch-pilgrimaging haj

Or barred my fingers go

 

A Blue Chip company

In name and nature

The pick of the mock-turtle picks

O send them on home

Where the buffalo horn roams

And swoon at the resulting licks

Here's my entry for the capo. And oddly enough it's called the capo song. It's about why we all need Buc to give us really, really nice capos.

 

The Capo Song

 

(Be gentle I'm not much of a sanger or guitarist.)

 

The Capo Song

By Fullmental Alpinist

 

 

(Verse1)

 

I got the call just yesterday

 

And it wasn't what I wanted

 

So I pulled out my guitar and tried play

 

But it wasn't the song I hoped to hear

 

And what key it was in I couldn't be clear

 

So I sighed and moved my capo up more

 

 

 

(Chorus)

 

Well God sends us songs throughout our lives

 

But they're coming from a distance

 

We need to listen real close to hear them right

 

And they may not be the songs we'd choose

 

Just got to play along if He sings the blues

 

But if you want you can move your capo up more

 

 

(Verse 2)

 

You might just be in a place in life

 

That isn't where you wanted

 

And you pull out your guitar and start to play

 

If your song is not what you'd hoped it'd be

 

Try singing it in another key

 

Just sigh and move your capo up more

 

 

 

 

(Repeat Chorus)
