in #wildnstrange7 years ago (edited)

What is the WILD & STRANGE contest? One of the many awesome contests here in the Steemit Community, this one is hosted by the prolific @papa-pepper. The five rounds of WILD & STRANGE are each their own different level of artistic expression, and I am entering in the 5th round with something that I almost know how to do - SING!

One of the key rules here is -

The song must include the lyrics in the poem, in order. Additional lyrics can be added, but all the lyrics in the poem must appear in your song, in order.

So here are the lyrics to the poem:

Bowing at his feet
kneeling in his presence
his secret of success
is the power of his essence

no need to complicate
the steps that you must take
just grab a few more peppers
and.., shake, shake, shake!

the power it delivers
one cannot mistake
so do the papa pepper
and.., shake, shake, shake!

So if you want that steem
that trending viral post
just listen to the master
and add some to your roast

the more you add the better
even lil'peppers know
like watering the plants
you'll watch your wallet grow

hot ones, sweet ones
as much as you can take
just do the papa pepper
and.., shake, shake, shake!!!

As I perused the other entries, I noticed that they mostly stuck to the script - I wanted to add what lyrics I could, while still trying to stick to the rules. Did I break the rules? You decide!

You'll notice my wild & strange hairstyle!

EDIT: after much consternation and scratching my head, I have determined that the basic tune is that of PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON.

Here are my lyrics, I've bolded the original lyrics of the poem:

If you were bowing at his feet
or kneeling in his presence,
you'd know no more than us;
there is no secret to his essence

but, persistance every day
and one pow'rfly simple message;
His secret of success
Its the power of his essence.

No need to complicate it,
the steps that you must take,
just grab a few more peppers
and shake, shake, shake
!

The power it delivers
one cannot mistake.
So do the Papa Pepper
and shake, shake, shake.

If you want that Steem now
with a trending viral post
just listen to the master
add some pepper to your roast.

The more you add the better,
even little peppers know,
like watering your plants
you
can watch your wallet grow.

Hot ones and sweet ones
habaneros and the ghost;
as much as you can take, now,
add that pepper we love most!

Do the @papa-pepper,
as much as you can take.
He gives his all to us, now,
so shake, shake, shake.

And as a shout out to our host Papa Pepper - Here's my proof!

Depending on how you consider verification, writing your username on video may be one of the only real ways to verify - This is the first time I have written my username on camera.

Thanks to my followers for putting up with our steemit competition weekend! @ecoinstante and I are working on competition entries all weekend, getting to know other steemians and having a lot of fun in the process.

We have also been working on what is now becoming a GIANT backlog of informative, agricultural, academic, fiction and other posts and articles.

Who knew that all this writing was inside of us? Well steemit is pulling it out. Until next time - see you in the comments ;p
