Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!

Let’s mix things up a little this week.  Growing up, I was a fan of Weird Al Yankovic (heck, I guess I’m still a fan, really).  As a word guy, I loved writing parodies of songs.  It was great creative training, though I didn’t know that then.  It gave me practice writing words that fit a certain phrasing and melody, and I got to make up funny stories.  Good times.

So here’s today’s writing prompt.  Let’s write a parody.  Or at least a few lines.  Don’t feel like you have to do the whole song.  Just do whatever you have the time or inclination for.  It’s just a fun creative exercise.

Today, let’s write a parody of:

“Drunk On A Plane” by Dierks Bentley

You can write about anything, but here’s a suggestion:

“Skunk On A Plane”
