The angels in heaven were crying
for God decreed they must cease all their flying
Cos heaven's terminal four
He'll have to expand once more

The angels in heaven were crying
for God decreed they must cease all their flying
Cos heaven's terminal four
Must expand once more
Or those trying to land will be dying

Sorry Gumby, couldn't resist, much better syllable count

[Olly Buckle]

This morning was five below zero
Where's that fiddler that burns things called Nero?
He drank all my wine
And raped women Sabine
The depraved, cold*, drunk, anti-hero.

*got a reference to the first line in the last line, none of the other lines had anything to do with it.

Ok here's mine, the bloke a the bottom says.

"Ok lady gimme a high five, what the f**k! Where this dude come from?
Hery dude you treadin' on mah nuts, Mother F*****r."

[moderan]

"2 bonus points for the best answer to what the guy at the bottom is saying."
He doesn't appear to be saying anything. He appears to be thumbing his nose at the prima ballerina.

In the land of fruits and flakes and nuts

(that one's just for Gumby)

You do know I used to be a postal worker, right? I'd hate to go postal on you.

I can't find where you got that quote from Gumby, I'm going to use it, with adjustment for syllable count:-

In the land of fruits, flakes and nuts

[Cran]

I can't find where you got that quote from Gumby,

it was one of the B/ward Ox's first line offerings ...

I'm going to use it, with adjustment for syllable count:-

In the land of fruits, flakes and nuts

with re-adjustment for the correct syllable count:

In the land of fruits and flakes and nuts
where you'll find plenty of ifs, ands and buts
