Wily Willy Weekend
-Words and music by: Shakey Willy Wordsmith
(aka Muddy Mississippi Mike Mikottis)

The Wily Willy Weekend
Willy stay, or will he go?
The written words we’re speakin’
We stole from him- don’t you know?
Come for the cabin fever
Maybe stay to see the show

The Wily Willy Weekend
We just say the things the play
But it’s more a stage we’re going through
Playing here on this fine day
Hard to say just what is Normal
Until you’ve been there for two days

The Wily Willy Weekend
In the cauldron boil and bake
Cobby corn and clammy taters
In the embered whole we make
Discontent made glorious summer
We ourselves are at the stake

Oft Worn, Never Washed *
(An annotated ten-year walk through
Weekend wearing the GoH)

And if what’s-been and laughs, like stilchester
Crumbs, affix themselves to you, this half score years?
A cloying framboise spot first will mess your
Markdown fibers.(1) An iron burn by Ed.(2) And there’s

Some cream from one weird udder.(3) A cleaning
Now from Triple Cripple water(4); then muck –
Eww, yuck! Lake Evergreen, you suck.(5) Careening,
A sprig hits from out the blender.(6) What the …. Luck

Would have it: A hair or two off Milli.(7)
Did those unnerving stains come from Rayburn
And from Ludden?(8) At least swale smudged grass, willy
Nilly, is covering up your Cockburn.(9)

Gown! Your blotched textile – but polyester –
Is our fine yarn, where, O Future Folly: Fester!(10)

— Your Obedient Servant

(2) Continuing apologies to the Pixilated Weekender.

(3) WwWm Three shout out to the Twin Cities Steak and Shake and the inventor of single serve containers.

(4) Grady’s Family Fun Park is ironically not ADA compliant.

(5) Btw, has anyone ever seen Brackish Stink as a green paint sample at Restoration Hardware?

(6) Art historians believe Weekend Six witnessed the creation of the first small appliance-based Japanese verse, the Brylenderku.

(7) RESOLVED, “our kind of people” had a little more fun riffing on Match Game then with the Gribbles that year.

(8) Aris-TOPH-anes?

(9) Yes, yes, we know that’s not how it’s pronounced.

(10)To be fair, GoH is only 40% synthetic fibers. Anyway, here’s to a happy X and many more to follow!

* Disturbing title coined by Weekender Ed

Try real hard not to be a jerk
Try real hard not to be a jerk
It may look easy but it’s alot of work
Try real hard not to be a jerk
