Song: Painful Plight in Georgia

not many laughs in this...

To the tune of Rainy Night in Georgia by Brook Benton

Caught up in war's embrace, tryin' to find a safe place to spend the night
Russian bombs fallin', and I hear a child callin' out in fright.
Our painful plight in Georgia, our painful plight in Georgia
Are consciences painin' all over the world?
Your consciences painin' all over the world

Cluster bombs are flashin', armoured cars and tanks passin' through the night
The howls of wounded men in pain close to driving us insane in the night
Our painful plight in Georgia, our painful plight in Georgia
Are consciences painin' all over the world?
Your consciences painin' all over the world

Into this we blundered
Ossetia our shame
Now we live with the blood of it and stink of it
Statesmen need to learn war is not a game

In Gori the Russians burn and mar, launched at us from afar the missiles whine
Mired in this unequal contest we look to NATO and the west, pray for a sign
This is our painful plight in Georgia, NATO, hear our painful plight in Georgia, are consciences painin' all over the world, oh if only, consciences painin' all over the world

Oh, safe in your freedom, do you sleep well?
There should be consciences painin' all over this small world
I'm talking 'bout painin', painin', painin', painin', painin', painin', painin',
painin', painin' painin', painin', painin'

Fabulous title (made me laugh), scans well, unfortnately this is a protest song.

It's very serious and has few if any jokes, was this your intent?

Are you trying to shame us brutal clowns who mock others suffering?

I started out trying to be funny, but the jokes didn't come. I don't think I will be sending this anywhere.

There hasn't been much in the news today that's tickled my funny bone. The only other thing I have come up with was on the kangaroo meat story:

Fry me kangaroo brown sport
Fry me kangaroo brown

Try it, it's a serious story and a good song.

Both shows like to do a serious not so funny skit every now and then.

Monkpeace was in both shows great song, but very serious.
