Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Ex's hang above an open spit
Old flames nipping at their toes
All poor folks, who've been hung out to dry
And now they're fodder for the crows

Everybody knows a turkey, and some married one
Some just never get it right
Lawyers lurk, just like circling sharks
They're gonna take a little bite

They know divorce court's on the way
It's put alot of filet mignon on their plates
And every vengeful ex is gonna spy
To see if their old use to be's hang out to fry

And so I'm offering this little hope
To spouses old and spouses new
I'm hoping the wonderful folks that you've met
Don't make ex's of you

Sounds like someone needs closure. ;-) I have 5's for ya, that's all.

I see where you are coming from - and the holidays make matters worse.

Tim, closure doesn't really have anything to do with this parody; but the "X-Mas" that's used so often instead of Christmas got me off on a tangent of X stuff, see?
Tim Mayfield - December 07, 2004 - Report this comment
Royce, nope, don't see. But don't blame me, I'm from the X Generation... ;-)

To quote Curly of The Three Stooges, "If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking 'til you do succeed." 5-5-5, magnificent parody here, Mizz Miller.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE FUNNIEST PARODY ON THE SIGHT! HILARIOUS! BRILLIANT INSIGHT INTO THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BREAKUPS! VERY, VERY FUNNY AND PROFOUND!

This parody makes me glad I have never gone through a divorce proceeding. Great job!
M Arnold - December 10, 2004 - Report this comment
I came to read this because my husband told me it was funny. But it really isn't that funny. It's alright, I guess. But it promotes that whole wounded woman mythology, that boo-hoo, my man done me wrong, what a heel crap. This is the twentifirst century, folks. Sorry.

Good pacing and wordplay, clever choice of topic though the tone was a little *too* bitter to be true: 5-4-4.
Royce Miller - December 14, 2004 - Report this comment
M Arnold--regarding your comment, there is no indication in this parody whether it's about men or women, it could be about either. A woman can be a turkey too, you know.

Royce, you have offended sharks by comparing them to divorce attorneys, but this is a very good parody.
