Parody Song Title:	"It´s a Fix, Its Suffix"
Parody Written by:	Peter Andersson a.k.a K1chyd

As a librarian I know once said: In today´s written language, there are too many suffixizings. ;-)

When I look back upon some songs
It´s always with an argus eye
I sometimes end the words to sly
For every word prolonged an inch
No matter pi or grr or tinge
There´s a reader that will flinch
It´s a...
It´s a...
It´s a...
It´s a fix!
Its suffix!

Every zing I ever wrote
Every word-prolonging dot
Every pacing-making out
Every ing you´ll ever spot
It´s suffix!

At school they had a spelling bee
Some nerd won, I came eightyfree
I never did suckseed
Too many words I ended y
Like kosher, flash or going bi
And to "thing" it makes some cry
It´s a...
It´s a...
It´s a...
It´s a fix!
Its suffix!

Every word of mass distract
Every second after prime
Every hyphen I contract
Every birth of a new rhyme
It´s a fix!

Readers, forgive me, I try hard to make it
Submitted a new song, then saw a "teh" in it
Wherever there´s comas, I probably had one
Grammar, it fools me, verbs are worse than nouns
But I sometimes get it wright

So when I look upon my zings
It´s always in a state of fear
I always need a six-pack beer
For every word in my matrix
There are some abbr-rhyming tricks
And some faults therein the mix
It´s a...
It´s a...
It´s a...
It´s a fix!
With suffix!

Every time I´m going/dutch
Every spell-check surgery
Every rhyme-supporting crutch
Every transword´postropheeee...
It´s a fix!

Etc

No, there really *aren't* too many suffixes. Freedom of morphological rules is something I really love about English. To quote Steven Pinker, which I do whenever at all possible, "Even more impressive, the output of one morphological rule can be the input to another, or to itself: one can talk about the unmicrowaveability of some French fries or a toothbrush-holder fastener box in which to keep one's toothbrush-holder fasteners" (The Language Instinct, 122). Now how is that not absolutely awesome? Sorry for not voting, I don't know the song at all. Just wanted to add a Pinker quote ;-).

Thanx for reading it anyway and commenting upon it. I don´t expect many votes for this one. PSB seems to be considered a bit obscure among the regulars here. There are only two parodies to their songs, and they are both mine. They´ve been big in Sweden ever since "Domino Dancing". Hmm... now there´s a malcy idea again ;-)
