"Pictures at [a Seinfeld] Exhibition"
When Elaine said
“Yada-yada,”
she meant sex had
been “a nada”
vis-à-vis the
bisque at dinner
that had made her ev’ning’s date a sure shtup-winner.
Ma walked in on
George with “Glamour”
catching him in
mid-self-hammer.
Shocked, a fall left
her in traction,
all because her horny son could get no action.
Jerry’s girlfriend,
tho’ still cherry,
thought “the one” just
might be Jerry,
’til Elaine’s tale
of the spilling
of her diaphragm in public proved mood-killing.
Jerry stalled by
diner trouble,
George played games with
brat in bubble
which, pierced during
misprint fighting,
sent poor George, like Huck, for Territ’ry out-lighting.
When his Susan,
died from licking
toxic glues on
envelopes for wedding invitations ’twas elation
that thru’ George's mind soon shot
Stoic (stony!),
George thought, “I’ve dodged
matrimony,
tho’ it really is a shame my bride-to-be has died for me
to slip the knot.”
’Laine cursed Puddy
for not caring
she was damned but
things got muddy
when the priest said,
“Bound for Satan,
are the pair of you ’cause you're both fornicatin’!”
Tho’ they’ve wound up
a cell sharing
for their crimi-
nal uncaring,
their time will go
by a-whizzin’ …
they’re just doing what they’ve always done in prison.

© Stan Hall ... Any fan of the show will likely notice a) these vignette verses are in no particular order vis-à-vis the corresponding episodes, and b) Kramer is unmentioned. Re the former, they're just ordered as they followed the idea into my head; re the latter ... well, clueless Kramer, actually the least _actively_/_intentionally_ callous of the lot gets a break here. (Well, that together with a shortage of OS verses to match and maybe what he'd call the "statue of limitations"). :-)

fun romp through the history of a wonderfully offbeat show.....allan sherman provided my first exposure to parody songs as well
Fantastic parody, Stan... and I'll be expecting 40% of the net-net front-end points when this puppy takes off...
Me too RE: Sherman. Great parody. The gallery where I exhibit is quite prudish. Maybe I should try "Strictures for the Exhibition."
Extremely funny, and well written
Sir Stan, this writing sytle is quite like the show itself!
Thanks everyone.
Larry -- if you can successfully pitch this puppy, you can have your 40%. :-)
JB -- DO you really exhibit stuff at a gallery? What manner of stuff? Me, I once made a "found art" sculpture out of a half-dozen old phono cartridges. Called it "Six Shures at an Exhibition." :-)

I echo John's comment
I usually skipped watching Seinfeld. I just could never quite get into it. The Kramer character was the funniest guy on the show IMO.But I can still remember him from Second City TV as Mr. Bearbaum. He was hilarious in that role. I've seen enough of Seinfeld to get most of what you were lampooning. Very well done Stan.
Stan, I really do. Long story.
JB -- Cool. I like stories. Do tell all. :-)
