(think the tune of "No Rain" by Blind Melon)
No Pain:
Sometimes I wish that I just had a brain
Then I would have feeling in life again!
All I got is this numbness in my head,
I may as well be dead,
Where is the pain? Miss the pain!
All I need is just some gray matter
Then my nerves would be quite busy.
My mind will have something to do, ya know?
Can you help me with this dilemma?
I don't understand where my brain may have gone,
It just seems wrong that there's no pain!
All I can do is pretend I feel a pinch,
With a tiny slap at me, fake a flinch...
...A flinch... A flinch... A flinch...
All I can say is I need to feel some pain,
You know my name is Lew,
And I have no pain....
...Have no pain...
...Have no pain...
(Hehehehehehehehe!)

(Elvis: "Return to Sender")
Can't find the website
"Can't find the website!
Can't find the website!
I clicked a link this morning,
Was shocked at what I saw;
The site was not available!
I gasped and dropped my jaw!
My browser said:
Can't find the website!
Server unknown!
No such ISP,
No such zone!
I freaked out plainly! What should I do!
I clicked and clicked until my mouse was black and blue!
So I closed my browser,
Tried out fresh and clean.
Found my bookmark real easy,
I clicked, it best not be mean!
My browser said:
Can't find the website!
Server unknown!
No such ISP,
No such zone!
This time I rebooted my comp,
I was desperate at the time!
And if I still couldn't hit the site,
So much for sublime...My browser hates me:
Can't find the website!
Server unknown!
No such ISP,
No such zone!
Can't find the website!
Can't find the website!"
(Edited to change "ISP" into "Server")

(BNL: "One Week")
Space Camp
I'm at Space camp, (it's quite a drag;
Can't believe I'm here, because I did brag!)
Twelve weeks to learn lotsa stuff,
Books and pencils all sorts that were tuff.
Two weeks spent in a hot class,
Another two were spent on my (Don't Ask!)
Four weeks of computing lab,
Four weeks on equipment, that was really fab!
(All this came about because I plainly said thus:
"I like to rhyme bust!"
But onwards to the story must):
We each had turns, even the nerds, and the macho debinare guys,
It was fun watching each in turn have a go, try to fly.
Lots of tunnels underground, maybe in pairs,
Tons of stairs there,
Damned if it didn't rain every day there.
Buildings were large things,
Fancy gizmos and giant swings!
They had everything you could think there;
Some I can'ta, shan'ta, won'ta speaka,
But I can talk-a, no a-wait-a,
IT's ok 'cause I took a second to savor,
Give space camp a try, (you joy will soon languor,
You won't lose the memory flavor.
Some things so secret, youll have to sign a waiver!)

Dos, I've been laughing hard for the last 5 minutes at your signature, and I don't see myself stopping any time soon.

Lewis, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with "No Rain" or even "Return to Sender," and mentally setting anything to "One Week" threatens to give me a headache. I'm sure you were clever, but it's not easy for me to appreciate.

No Rain
Return to Sender
One Week
(Hope that helps? Sorry about the headache, too. Imagine what I went thru just to DO it. Also note I didn't really finish the entire song!)

I like Elvis. So I found it fun to be able to sing the second song to myself, especially since I like "Return to Sender".
Never heard of the first song. and One Week is a fun song. c:

I only vaguely remember "Return to Sender," but I know your meter is off. Perhaps using "No such server" rather than "No such ISP." That's all I can offer in terms of critique right now.
