They say This prarie schooner Cutting through Waves of green or golden wheat On a sea of rolling hills She shines up A sunny day Butt Ugly comes out to play When fishin' 'n mowin' The cap'n's hat she be know'n as Butt Ugly She was a State Fair special A souvenir Of western persuasion Faux straw woven Wire in her trim She looked jaunty and sharp The day she was new Butt ugly comes out to play When fishin' 'n mowin' The cap'n's hat she be know'n as Butt Ugly Butt Ugly Been in the drink Once or twice And crushed more than just A time or two She wears her rumple rugged Pulled down low in front Ringed with a drawstring To hang around the neck When the wind be blowin' The cap'n's hat She be know'n as Butt Ugly [This message has been edited by Eusta B.

I am thinking about this one, But I just can¡¦t imagine what the metaphors could be, like who is Captain Ugly? There is a hat, maybe a lawn mower,¡K maybe I just need to think about, look at it again, maybe think about it some more, maybe ¡K ¡K Hmmm I really wanna enter your world.ƒº Maybe it should have been: do it WITH other and they will do it WITH you? Js Hey, nobody's human! |

Sorry for the confusion. Butt Ugly is the name of my hat. It is like a Captain's hat to me, figuratively speaking (Prarie schooner is the name for the covered wagons back in the day that used their canvas covers like sails to cross the prarie.) ebm |
