(Sung to the tune of "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille") On a road that was dusty, in a car that smelled musty She sat beside him and started to sing He tried not to listen Something was missing His eardrums were beginning to ring When she saw he had left her For an under-sized heifer She sang she had more fish to fry He just looked at her What did it matter She waved his wallet and drove quickly by You picked a fine time to find me a deal I got the money and you’re still a heel I can’t sing in tune You took off too soon You left me money to steal You picked a fine time to find me a deal She hitched up her britches Almost burst all their stitches Her hips swung as she strode from the car Now her song became sweeter She’ll find a new man to need her They'll go for a fast ride and go far She has lots of his money She’ll get a new honey Her eyes are set on a shiny bright star It won’t take her awhile With her feminine wiles She smiles and walks into the bar You picked a fine time to find me a deal I got the money and you’re still a heel I can’t sing in tune You took off too soon You left me money to steal You picked a fine time to find me a deal - Alison |

Dear Alison you are not only a great poet but a brilliant song writer as well. That was terrific and I sang it right through twice. I loved it, well done. Lindsay |

After reading your fun loving poem here, I am inspired to find out more about the form of this creature of parody. Or is it spelled, "parrotty creature?" Oh my, my brain is on a respit! Hm... Perhaps a good time to write! Thanks for the inspiration. You always do that, you know... you inspire. misce' |

Gads...where can I go now to get this tune out of my head? Kenny will be sitting beside me all day now...  Hey, it's not all bad, considering... the idea of Kenny, that is. As for the poem? Charming, cute, and all Alison!  |
