Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

When Brylcreem was forced to issue a disclaimer
On the vertical hair of Michael Richards's Kramer
No shock waves hit the set of Seinfeld
But the action caused a legal minefeld.

  3. Blast from the past is right! I Googled the stuff and they have a nice web page with a really hot guy and the suggestion to also try aqua velva. LOL

    If no one has ever seen a Brylcreem ad, here's a link for a YouTube video of a vintage one.

    Peace!

  5. Ugh, Brylcreem, my fathers pillowcase always reeked of it!

    Loved the rhyme.

  6. Brylcreem ...... Every man who was of any worth wore the stuff at one time. Marked all the backs of chairs & put "grease" over everything.

  9. Brylcreem disclaimed
    Straight hair when it rained,
    Legal department declared
    That Seinfield not aired!

    Woo!

    Great poem. Brylcreem - yuk!

  10. A nostalgic hair product
    Made my mind go astray
    To jingles and slogans
    From my childhood day
    I've got to give credit
    Where credit is due ya
    Like Brylcreem itself
    A little dab'll do ya

    And when your post also quoted
    A favourite show
    I thought of one line
    I want you to know
    Remembering Elaine
    And how she did shout
    With a shove to the chest
    And a surprising "Get OUT!"
