MAR 12, wordplay map: renamed US state capitals (western)
We presume that there are others out there who have found that the names of the US state capital cities are a chore to remember. So, here's a practical application of wordplay with anagrams!
We might eventually do the eastern US states, so stay tuned (but be patient).

MAR 10 (2024), singable satire: Decaffeinated version sung by The Ink Spots -- "REFLUX ROMP"
PARODY-LYRICS
ORIGINAL SONG: "Java Jive", The Ink Spots, 1940.
PARODY COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, January 2014, originally blog-posted January 10, 2014. Thanks to Steve McNie of Corktown Ukulele Jam / Toronto Ukes for providing chord charts and other help!
REFLUX ROMP
Craving chilies cheery hot ?
So hoist up the head of the stead of that bed
If you can't purge that Java-jive urge
Reflux, reflux, reflux, reflux, reflux.
Coffee urn! Gas burn!
Acid burn! Can't learn.
To spurn prohibitions to caffeine.
Your tongue may be furred from refractory GERD
Cope with Sanka, it's decaf
It cuts the acid burn down by half.
If you can't purge that Java-jive urge
Reflux, reflux, reflux, reflux, reflux !
