Not because it's brilliant but because it's Frank being Frank:

The desecration of this glebe
...
The last stand of Shazeb Andleeb

And I love the rhyme scheme in "My Life is in Storage." It goes:

AA
AB
BB

Like this:

I had a castle, I had no hassles
Now tears are tassles, you're sure to know it
Just when you blow it, then you can stow it

and this:

Come take a voyage to personal storage
And we will forage, leashes for my hounds
My tools for my grounds, speakers for my sounds

And one more couplet:

Like the reign of mastodon
Like the alleys of old Lyon

It's funny because 'violin' is actually in the lyrics of Two Reelers

CHORUS 1

D#5 C#
If all you see is violence
B5 F#
Then I make a plea In their defense
D#m F# B5 C#
Don't you know they speak vaudevillian?

from this forum's tab section

the lyric makes sense in the context of vaudeville. A couple of guys known for smacking the shit out of each other (three stooges)

*wait a damn minute... are you just busting chops?

I think it was a wry reference to my signature line.
