Why My Monty Python Audition Was Unsuccessful

 

Preamble

You will notice I am not in the pic. This is the final elected MP Team (minus me) as I was deemed 'medically unfit' to qualify.  The audition pic (in which I featured prominently) got binned. Not even a signed memento to show my fans back home, and proof of my audition attempt. Bloody Poms. The bugger Clease (also absent from pic) was practising for the next days shoot.  I hope he sprains his whatsit.

 

I put my best foot forward

Got invite sent alright

Audition Monty Python

(Could see my name in lights)

 

(dazzle...glitter....flash flash -media cams)

 

I put my best foot forward

Said gosh! and 'stone the crows'

But not the jolly Christians

The lions we to them throw

 

They said to me (delighted)

We gotta have this man

Who throws the jollies to the lions

This man, we have a plan

 

But at this interviewing point

They went and burst my bubble

They said can you do silly walks?

I thought, gosh, I'm in trouble

 

I told them all about my fall

Off ladder, pelvic bust

I'll have a go if you insist

If you insist I must?

 

Of course you know I muffed it

Someone called Clease got part

So jetted back to 'stralia

My dream it fell apart
