I take it this meant as a pro-social parody instead of a funny one. If so, good job!
Reminds me of Monty Python's sketch "The Upper-Class Twit Of The Year" !!

Just realized what your comment on my take of the same OS meant: yep, who knows how many verses the OS has, and TBH who cares? I enjoyed this, but to be really picky you could have tried a bit harder on the rhyming (I know I had quite a few that caused a lot of headaches, so I'm just trying to spread the pain)
I saw the title of this and thought it was gonna be about ZsaZsa's husband's latest escapade... ;-D
