{Ande Rasmussen (DIFS) just posted a Contest of sorts on the Above title & This is what came to My Caffein-Deprived Brain this AM...Doubt it's A Contender, but WAS a Fun Write!}

Waal, I live Down in Florida
It Shorely ain't Too Near,
But There..in the Tampa Tribune
Was a Story Loud-n-Clear:

Some Feller Coined The Slogan (&)
Bumper Stickers Soon Appeared
& On Them Were Prophetic Words (About)
(Let's) KEEP AUSTIN WIERD


Somehow The Slogan soon Caught On
As it Spread from Car-to-Car
But then Some OTHER Entrepeneur
Took The Slogan a Bit Too Far....

He was gonna Crank Out T-Shirts
& Spread that Slogan Far & Near
Make a Bit of MONEY from
(Let's) KEEP AUSTIN WIERD!

(BRIDGE)
They Put LONGHORNS..On CADILLACS
Wear COWBOY BOOTS T' CHURCH
But When Someone STEALS/RUSTLES A SLOGAN
MAN, They Get Their FEELIN'S HURT!

So NOW Insteada the OK CORRAL
They Use LAWYERS t' Make ONE of them DISSAPPEAR
Waal..Buddy, I'll TIP My STETSON T'YOU:
You DEFINITELY..KEEP AUSTIN WIERD!

(VERSE)
So I Gaze upon my Tampa Town
ALL Our CRAZIES..Headin' WEST
The Hippies, Gurus, Winos, Flakes
NOW Think AUSTIN is THE BEST!

They Got a CONVOY of OL' SCHOOL BUSSES
Towards The Settin' Sun..They're STEERED
And It ALL Began with ONE BUMPER STICKER
(Sayin'...Let's) KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD!

(OUTRO)
Waaal...I Know TEXAS FOLKS...
Ain't MUCH that Makes 'Em SKEERED....
Put an Extra GUN..In The PICKUP, Son (&)
(Let's) KEEP AUSTIN WIERD!!!
