The Blog Song

Wasn't it just a matter of time? Here's a little song about blogging... actually it's more like a song/joke (jong or soke perhaps?). It's called If I Had a Blog.

I'm hoping it will one day get played on the Ruy Lopez Show... a man can dream can't he?

If I Had a Blog

I learned HTML just for you
I bought myself a handbook and it showed me what to do
And then I built a website links n' all
With a special place to comment, just in case you paid a call.

My hit counter is rising every day
I've met a few new people (some I wish would stay away).*
I've made a couple blogrolls, for that I'm glad
Because I'd thought it'd help me you find me... how I sure wish that it had.

And if I had a blog would you comment upon it?
Would you navigate to me
Or would you surf the other way?
I haven't tracked your URL today.

I posted 'bout my boss and lost my job.
But the upside to unemployment, was time to redesign the blog
Cash is short but I've found new ways to survive:
Through blog shirts mugs and bumper stickers - all of which you've yet to buy.

I'm a cowboy on the virtual frontier.
I've become a man of influence... in the blogosphere
I'm getting hits from Finland and Malay.
But never one from you whom I see almost every day.

And if I had a blog would you comment upon it?
Would you navigate to me
Or would you surf the other way?

I like to think you've come but just won't tell
But still I've yet to track your URL
I'm stuck with stacks of mugs that I can't sell away.

*this line of course does not reflect upon millinerd commenters, as I'm grateful to all who surf my way.
