Disambiguation -- a Whimsy |

Edited on Thu Dec-24-09 01:03 PM by MineralMan
(to the tune of "Fascination," with sincere apologies to Nat King Cole)
'Twas disambiguation, I know, And it might have ended right there at the start. Just the proper word, And I might have heard, What you might have meant Before all the writing Got started.
'Twas disambiguation, I know, When you parsed your words In that peculiar way. Just a different tense And we all would sense The meaning of what You were trying To say.
Disambiguation saved the day...

Give the apologies to Maurice de Féraudy and Dick Manning, though - Féraudy wrote the original lyrics and Manning translated them. One of my favorite songs . . .

2. Thanks. I knew that. The apology goes to Nat King Cole, though.... |

Really though, with the exception of one line, it flows well. Nat could have handled it, no problem!
