Disambiguation -- a Whimsy

[MineralMan]

(to the tune of "Fascination," with sincere apologies to Nat King Cole)

'Twas disambiguation, I know,
And it might have ended
right there at the start.
Just the proper word,
And I might have heard,
What you might have meant
Before all the writing
Got started.

'Twas disambiguation, I know,
When you parsed your words
In that peculiar way.
Just a different tense
And we all would sense
The meaning of what
You were trying
To say.

Disambiguation saved the day...

1. Nicely done. :)

Give the apologies to Maurice de Féraudy and Dick Manning, though - Féraudy wrote the original lyrics and Manning translated them. One of my favorite songs . . .

2. Thanks. I knew that. The apology goes to Nat King Cole, though....

I would hate for him to have had to try to sing my version. :evilgrin:

3. Ah - point taken.

Really though, with the exception of one line, it flows well. Nat could have handled it, no problem!
