This is a tribute to, or travesty of, DustTraveller's excellent story, Quantum Castaways. I probably don't need to say to what tune it's supposed to be sung.
"Hey Marsh, what's the plan for today?"
"Same thing we do every day, Sparks..."
[together]
"Try to get off of this island!"
The Monkey and the Mule, the Monkey and the Mule
One wields magic, the other's got tools
They're taken from their homes
By aliens or gnomes
The Monkey, the Monkey and the Mule, Mule, Mule, Mule,
Mule, Mule, Mule, Mule,
Mule!
Contriving to survive
On every day they strive
To connive or to derive
A way back home alive
The Donkey and the Ape, the Donkey and the Ape
Their plans to escape
Will leave your jaws agape
But still, despite their guile
They're trapped upon their isle
The Donkey, the Donkey and the Ape, Ape, Ape, Ape,
Ape, Ape, Ape, Ape,
*varf*
I don't know why these one shots are getting downvoted so much, I was deeply amused to see this one. You actually had me laughing out loud. I sang the lyrics to the proper tune.
Thank you very much, GGA. You made my day.
Ok you get an upvote just for this one, I have read the story, and yes I sang along XD
Heee. I just finished reading Quantum Castaways, so this made me giggle. I have to say I'm enjoying your one-shots so far.
