A Song for “Bart”

Or his as his dad would call him as a kid - “Bongy”

Background

My childhood friend “Bart” I compare to Vaush in my stories of political frustration also had a name given to him by his pragmatic social worker dad who also holds socialist leaning views but knows how to compromise and find middle ground. This name was “Bongy the Nitwit” because he was bouncy as a child and constantly running around doing silly unpredictable and over the top things I as a kid found disproportionate to the stimulus provided. Like pointing at the VHS TV at a sleepover party and pausing the scene where a cow farts in a kids film or something and cackling and wanting everyone to laugh with him when we just wanted him to keep playing the film.


Here’s the lyrics Suno AI Assisted with.


Lyrics

[Verse]

Bongy the brown-nosed nitwit

Had a very smelly nose

And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows

[Verse 2]

All of the other nitwits

Used to laugh and call him gay

That left poor Bongy speechless

Because he was bi-curious anyway

[Chorus]

Then one smelly Christmas Eve

His Dad said with glee

"Bongy with your nose so bright

Will you sniff this here cloth tonight?"

[Bridge]

Then all the nitwits loved him

As they shouted out with glee

Bongy the brown-nosed nitwit

You have made your dad happy

Song end
