The prompt was to write a poem that gives people an excuse to say a word that's just fun to say. Schadenfreude just happens to fit a jingle...I think the jingle was originally a parody of a popular song, but I know only the jingle. Its tune is almost as repetitious as "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and/or all the rock songs that have been released since people realized that, hey, Gordon Lightfoot got away with that...Note to pop singers: You are not Lightfoot. I know I'm not Lightfoot either so I've kept this piece of Bad Lyric Poetry short.
When the head of every class
fumbles on a simple pass,
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Own a sport for twenty years?
Then walk off the field in tears?
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
When a candidate you hated
's blocked by someone he once dated,
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
When the home-and-family spox
find their marriage on the rocks,
Schadenfreude! Schadenfreude!
Etc. Etc. Kids can expand it if they like; aunts have to have some sympathy for parents. But not so much sympathy for parents that aunts can't enable kids to learn the parent-banishing classic song...
