Ballade

The Oregon Lineman.

Glen Campbell sings.

I am a lineman for the Beavers
And I drive the offense
Lookin’ in the bar for another overload

I hear you singing in your office
I hear you singing out to me
And the Oregon Lineman
Must now take a pee

I know you called the p’lice department
I know I should have worn pants
But I want you to watch me
Do my naked three-point stance

And I need you more than want you
And I see you in my dreams
And the Oregon Lineman
Got thrown off the team

    The ballad is impressive–my gifts run wholly to shorter forms of verse. To wit,

    My naked three-point stance
    Would hardly merit a glance
    ‘Cept I don’t bend my knees
    To touch ground in threes.
    I’ve put whole sororities into a trance.

  2. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Good one, Dave. This event is almost too easy for bards like us.

  3. Dave Stone Says:

    For the Beavers I proudly play quarterback,
    But thoughts of nudity give me a heart attack.
    One naked three-point stance
    (definition: without pants)
    And the ladies would call me a pennyback.
