Just one verse per post please, as I will grade them, accept them or not. The chorus is the same , just write the verse, be original, creative, science related if you want, no profanity please. here is the song: have fun My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
my Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
O bring back my Bonnie to me.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me.
O blow ye winds over the ocean,
O blow ye winds over the sea.
O blow ye winds over the ocean,
And bring back my Bonnie to me.
Repeat chorus
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead.
Repeat chorus
The winds have blown over the ocean,
The winds have blown over the sea,
The winds have blown over the ocean,
And brought back my Bonnie to me.
Repeat chorus
My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank,
The height of its contents to see,
I lit a small match to assist her,
O Bring back my Bonnie to me.
Repeat chorus
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
I stuck my feet out of the window, ............................................ Sample verse
In the morning the neighbors were dead.
Repeat chorus
My mother makes beer in the bathtub,
My father makes synthetic gin,
My sister makes fudge for a quarter,
Wouldja believe how the money rolls in?
Repeat chorus
My mother, she drowned in the bathtub,
My father, he died from his gin,
My sister choked on her chocolate,
My stars, what a fix I am in.
Repeat chorus
I tried making beer in the bathtub,
I tried making synthetic gin,
I tried making fudge for a living,
Now look at the shape that I'm in

Bi-o-lo-gy deals with the species',
While Physics has tied up the Plancks,
Maths has some real arcane theories,
so I'll stick to Chemistry thanks.
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me.
O blow ye winds over the ocean,
O blow ye winds over the sea.
O blow ye winds over the ocean,
And bring back my Bonnie to me. ..........................I like it.

My stomach's a little bit queasy
I just wish that I could take a shit
Constipation is not often easy
Turds get harder the longer I sit

O Bonnie has been brewed with the hops.
Bonnie has been brewed with the barley.
The nosy neighbors have called the cops.
Now it's off to prison for me.

There once was a cat,
Oh so lovely cat,
It was so big,
It got stuck in a hat.

My Bonnie writes tunes for Bob Dylan,
My Bonnie sings to babies too.
My Bonnie entertains the sailors
There nothin my Bonnie can't do.

Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me.

Your style reminds me of the poetry of the young John Dryden.
