Elmo Gone Emo

My 13-year old son is quite the writer. Here is one of his latest poems, created at the drop of a hat to drive a dark-dressing female schoolmate nuts. I don't like the last verse so much, but the tune he sings it to is catchy, so much so that once it's in your head, you can't easily get it out.

Elmo Gone Emo

Elmo gone emo,
Emo for a day.
Elmo gone Emo,
Emo all the way.

Elmo be on drugs now,
Dying his fur black.
Elmo get a big tattoo
Of monster on his back.

Elmo quit his job
On children’s TV.
Elmo’s black fur
Not good publicity.

Elmo get a job
At some old emo store.
Elmo grow his fur out long,
Not cuddly anymore.

Big Bird and Barney
Decide to go emo, too.
They both put on black clothes
Like Emo Elmo do.

In the end they cut themselves,
And they bleed to death.
This proves quite frankly,
Being emo’s not the best.
