Longing for relief from the misery of "GIRD"? Time to go to "Gaviscon"...
Gaviscon, need Gaviscon, I can hear my stomach gurgling
I feel cramps and now I'm hurtin'
Geez, it's not much fun so I'll take Gaviscon
Gaviscon, bring Gaviscon, something in my gut is churning
And I feel this constant burning
Now I've got runs and need some Gaviscon
Swilling those mixed drinks just like they're water
Now my guts hurt; they make me grieve
And my stomach is paining me
like a bitch, and it is not much fun
Gaviscon, where's Gaviscon, stomach hurts so bad I'm crying
Had four draft beers; still I'm whining
Feel the raw, hot burn of GIRD splashing on my tongue
Need Gaviscon, my Gaviscon
(Instrumental to end)
I feel cramps and now I'm hurtin'
Geez, it's not much fun so I'll take Gaviscon
Gaviscon, bring Gaviscon, something in my gut is churning
And I feel this constant burning
Now I've got runs and need some Gaviscon
Swilling those mixed drinks just like they're water
Now my guts hurt; they make me grieve
And my stomach is paining me
like a bitch, and it is not much fun
Gaviscon, where's Gaviscon, stomach hurts so bad I'm crying
Had four draft beers; still I'm whining
Feel the raw, hot burn of GIRD splashing on my tongue
Need Gaviscon, my Gaviscon
(Instrumental to end)

Ah, GIRD (or is it "GERD" for "Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease" ?) for "Sea BIRDs flying in the sun" !! Great job, Paul, well done.
i found the OS hard to swallow, but this went down easy...5s
"Feel the raw, hot burn of GIRD splashing on my tongue " describes it. Yukkity feeling. 5's
You forgot the riff part. A song like this just has to have riff.
The OS is one of my favorites, so I better not read this more than once - hee hee. :-D
Pretty good, if you acid me...5's
Thanks, folks...coincidentally, I am just about to eat a bowl of chili for lunch now...
This was a good idea and well paced, but how about a little rhyming? Crying/whining/splashing doesn't count because, in the original song, Jimmy Webb rhymed dying/crying/flying (feminine rhyme). If you are claiming that gurgling and hurting and grieve and me are also rhyming pairs, that is very feeble. So your only decent rhyme is churning/burning.
Well, Millard, thanks for looking and giving me your opinion. Personally, I don't think that my rhymes are all that bad here, but that is certainly subject to personal preference and taste and I understand what you are saying. You know, there are a couple of internal rhymes within the lines, although from your criticism of those you mentioned I doubt you would think that much of them either. But I do appreciate the feedback from you.
Well I thought it chucked along fine ;) 5s
