(To the tune of Stephen Foster’s “Beautiful Dreamer”)
Beautiful creamer, pour in my cup.
I need lots of coffee to really wake up.
Sounds of the rude world are heard in the street;
There’s ache in my head and pain in my feet.
So pour, old friend creamer, queen of my song,
But not all that much cream; I like it strong!
This morning you’re used, as you should be, for cream,
But later today – well, I have a dream.
After you’re empty I’ll fill you with beer.
Bright future for you: a whole new career!

You've made my day, savannah -- thanks.
It's always good when one knows the melody - and I did. It scanned very well.
FF: "It scanned very well."
Thanks, it pays to take the time
To think of meter, as well as rhyme. :-)
I liked the original song but your use of it really gave me a smile this morning - and I haven't even had my coffee yet! Great job!
RNSANE: "Great job!"
Great comment! Thanks a lot.
Berowne,
Your rhythmic flow here is fantastic! Very creative! Love it! :) The Bach
This is so cute! I sang it out loud. Twice. Did you hear me?
(btw, I just now corrected your disabled url in the Mr. Linky list...you had an extra "." at the end. Now people can click to you!)
Oh, tee hee! Love it!
willow: "This is so cute! I sang it out loud. Twice. Did you hear me?"
I wondered whose beautiful voice that was...
BTW, thanks for the technical fix. It's amazing how little I understand of the technical side.:-)
Bachelor -- Thanks for a great comment.
My cup is now officially runnething over. :-)
Very funny! I wonder if the pot might like it?
HA! Love it, I do, but I leave out the cream, heh, heh...and the stronger the better :)
Great take o nthe prompt here, sir!
Beautiful Creamer: What a flash of brilliance!
Splendid stuff!
Ha! I love it. I sang it too. (But my voice is not beautiful, so I hope you didn't hear.)
Haaa--good one!
Oh, yeah! From creamer to beer stein... I like it! Clever use of the Beautiful Dreamer tune!
spacedlaw: "Very funny! I wonder if the pot might like it?"
It might, if it would just stop making racist remarks about the kettle. :-)
Subby: "Great take on the prompt here, sir!"
Well, I did it as promptly as I could. :-)
Well, heck - I've been going around singing beautiful creamer all morning long. Thanks for the chuckle.
You are absolutely clever..I hope you know that. And now, I'll continue my day with that song stuck in my head.
Vicki Lane, Enchanted Oak, Kevin, Color Brush, Jennifer, CatLady -- What great comments. I almost have the feeling that I have hit, as they say in France, le pot de Jacques. :-)
Thanks!
Beautiful creamer! Groan-inducingly brilliant.
You've ruined that song perfectly!
I'll be singing this song all day! Very fun and funny. That pitcher has a longe and busy career ahead of it. Well, gotta go...time for a beer break.
lol. i did enjoy that...think i will start with the coffee and we can go from there...
Just popped back in to make sure your link was fixed. Looks like you've had lots of nice visitors today. :)
I hummed along as I read; thanks for the smile...very clever; from cream to beer! That's a new one!

Your idea for this contest was a stroke of genius, willow -- thanks!
P G: "You've ruined that song perfectly!"
Thanx; it's not the only thing I've ruined. :-)
Ronda Laveen: "I'll be singing this song all day! Very fun and funny."
You've helped me, Ronda -- thanks!
My thanks to Jen, Brian, Pauline, Evening Light, Pat and Steven for taking the time to check out my little effort. Your comments meant a lot.
Careful--the sugar pot might get jealous, though it's probably hanging around the oranges in the sunny chair of a Sunday Morning. (*head smack* I know that one!!)
Fun parody, my coffee is forever doomed...
ds: "Careful--the sugar pot might get jealous, though it's probably hanging around the oranges in the sunny chair of a Sunday Morning."
Now don't go getting complacent, in that peignoir. :-)
**applauds wildly** Ingenious!
here from Magpie...
thanks for the chuckle. looking forward to my morning coffee now.
Truth. The world is only civil after coffee.
That is simply GREAT. I'd drink a beer from that cup!
Thanks to Patty F, Tori, tatty and Elizabeth for some more great comments.
I don't feel dull, I don't feel hollow, if I find myself in your "Blogs I Follow." :-)
What fun, a grand idea, just love the tune! Thanks for sharing.
SUN DANCE HILL: "Thanks for sharing."
And I thank YOU for sharing. Regards.
Well there's nothing I like more than funny, and this is it. Great! Of course, now I've got Beautiful Dreamer stuck in my head . . . .

Cass @ That Old House: Thanks, Cass.
By the way, Cass, I've always loved your work, along with the others: Denny, Michelle and John Phillips. But you were the best!
(Jes' kiddin')
How original. How enjoyable.
As enjoyable as your comment. Thanks, Jerry.
Magpie Tales:
Love it... I never could remember the words to Beautiful Dreamer -- but somehow I like yours much better anyway...I will never look at my creamer the same way anymore.
Kudos to you,
Joanny

Very clever! Beer: why not?
The Hausfrau -- Vielen dank, gnaedige Hausfrau!
Joanny: "...somehow I like yours much better anyway."
A true music-lover! Thanks.
