Purple Reign of Blood (Other) by Kamikaze
The children sang and danced on set For, in the company of Barney, they could not fret “I love Barney and Barney loves me!” They shouted out with sickening glee. So that fat, purple dino danced round and round Round and round, he made no sound For in his head, the wheels now turned And in his mind, an idea burned. “Stop this silly, childish playing.” Said a little voice inside his dino pee-brain. For his revelation had finally come, “You’re a dinosaur...act like one.” So, when little Fred said, “I love you.” Barney said, “Mmmmm, I love you, too.” And looking at the innocent Fred, He picked him up... And bit off his head! Triumphantly, the dinosaur stood Saying, “That was finger-licking good!” The children ran with high-pitched screams. This nightmare destroying all their dreams. Toward the exit ran a human flood For Barney had developed a taste for blood. Little Suzie shrieked with alarm As Barney swiftly tore off her arm And as if upon demand, Sang, “I want to hold your hand.” Then, turning towards the audience crowd, Barney roared and sang out loud, “Barney loves you, loves you a bunch. And if you’re slow, you’ll be his lunch!

good old rhyme 4 something child-like and curried with adult-chill

definitely something many folks have envisioned with glee. the rhymes are blatantly forced (with pseudo-poetic grammatical restructuring and all that goodness) ... good for a quick chuckle?

Aren't most rhymes forced, especially in "nursery rhymes"?

No.

If I force some rhymes, it is for the comedic effect to mimic the sing-song cadence of a nursery rhyme. I experimented with this vein and a more free verse approach. It had a very different effect.

While some might say the rhymes are forced? It doesn't matter to me. I can't see how getting redundantly creative with the bunch/lunch rhyme would have improved this poem. It realistically expressed how a real rex would act, it beheld my hatred of barney like Jesus looking with disgust at his foreskin--

And most importantly: It made me laugh. Really hard. And you can't succesfully poke fun at Barney without imitating his classic pimple rhyming schemes... I love you, you love me.... *the sound of a single loaded shotgun and brains splattering on the wall*....

Barney?

.... fuuuckkk yoouu youuu...lil...retard..brats...blehhh.
