Ok ok, so 5-7-5:


The old pond is still
a frog leaps right into it
Won’t stop the screaming?

BTW, the original by Matsuo Basho:

Furu ike ya
kawazu tobikomu
mizu no oto

astrojax can't write
In this medium
Won't someone stop the screaming?

Hir ego creates
Justifications
Won't someone stop the screaming?

Form and content are
Complimentary
Won't someone stop the screaming?

Therefore you are lame
Seth's superior
Won't someone stop the screaming?

Hoping you feel small
Crushed beneath my feet
Won't someone stop the screaming?

Parisians can´t sleep
He never shuts up
Won’t someone stop the screaming?

Roaring terror of
a lovesick hunchback
Won’t someone stop the screaming?

Esmeralda! Es
meralda! Mon dieu,
won’t someone stop the screaming?

His girl has left him
and the bells miss him
Won’t someone stop the screaming?

Then Quasimodo
meets Kelly Osbourne
Will she stop the screaming?

A happy ending
With lots of fucking
Won’t someone stop the screaming?

(/poetic form)
(to the tune of Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fires')

We didn't stop the screaming!
It was always screamin' since Cthulu was dreamin'!
We didn't stop the screaming!
We wish we could
Someone really should
We didn't stop the screaming!
Though we tried so hard
With our praetorian guard
We didn't stop the screaming!
No we didn't stop it
Can't karate chop it
We didn't stop the screaming:
It goes on and on and on and on-n-n!

Won't someone stop the screaming?
