"Is Your Purse A Gun Holder (Or On Your Period?)"

Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

True story -- no one could make this up. This school bans purses as a "security measure", but it's OK for girls to carry a purse if they presently need it to hold menstrual supplies. So, a security guard asks a 14-year-old girl who is carrying a purse, "Do you have your period?" Story here.

Is your purse a gun holder?
Are you bearing arms, Baby?
Put it all in sight (Show me...)
Show me one Kotex™, or two

Put your purse on the table
Open up your bag, Baby
Show me maxi-pad; maybe
I will let you into school

Be this way, or people claim --
The terrorists will win
If it's your "day"
A purse is OK
For girls, this school brings blush in

Could they be any colder?
Whisper? Not! I'll shout, "Baby, --
"Menstruating, dear? Tell me...
"Tell me you're not overdue"

Though you're fourteen, no older
Bring you close to tears, Baby
Crazy terror fears, maybe
As all sane people smolder

I don't know which would be more dangerous: a crazed gunman or a teenager at "that time of the month". I think I'd take my chances dodging a bullet. Great stuff, TT
Jason - October 19, 2007 - Report this comment
I agree with Kristof's comment
Matthias - October 19, 2007 - Report this comment
The combination of the two is dangerous. That time of the month with a loaded gun.... You'd better watch the f*ck out!

If a teenaged girl can't bring a Playtex to school, then the terrorists win. 555

AFW, thanks.

Good idea. That is no surprise since schools have zero tolerance policies on everything. By the way, that comment about teens on their periods is ageist as well as sexist.
Project Sisyphus - October 19, 2007 - Report this comment
Wow. Great parody, and it's only a matter of time before a BOY's family sues because their son should have the right to bring a purse to school too, to express his feminine side.

You did this to purse-fection

2Eagle, thanks for vote and very thoughtful comment.
Project Sisyphus, or if he has a sudden ... uh, "woody", and the school thinks he's smuggling dynamite... well, it sorta is lol. thanks.

They`ve gone for rags, they`re b*tches Anyone know of this golden oldie? Congrats for writing the 1st ragtime parody on the site. Suggest a 5 day grace PERIOD on all muff bags, Mon morning at Tri-Valley Central: Sign in PC at entrance instructs female students to indicate in the radial dials by 3 clicks in the 5s column if you are at that `special` time of the month and if not indicate how many weeks it has been since your last by clicking dials 1-4. Sheesh & resist already!

I like the little tm symbol next to Kotex. It ensures you have not infringed on the company's copright. BTW, why do all feminine product brands end in -ex or-ax? TampAX KotEX PlatEX Good job.

Great write, and I'm not just speculumating here! And, as they say in Dallas, "With twelve votes so far, this FTD's (Fine Tommy Doggerel) gettin' a whole lotta play, Tex!"

Guy: Thanks much... there have been other "ragtime" (lol! good one) parodies on this site, e. g. (cough) "Got A Tampon, Please" http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/abba130.shtml

Chatty Cathy, ROFL! Great callback to an old reference :)

Joe Haynes: What about OB? lol. Thanks, Joe. (TT uesd to put registered tm in the outro with a link to the company's website, but then figured no one ever went there, so why bother? But as for respecting tm and copyright, absolutely.)

TJC: Thanks for the vagynecological pun and comment :)

Who, me? I Ain't bled since last Saturday when I ate some road and road rashed my elbow on my bike after hitting a speed bump doing a 180 turn out of a school parking lot going way too fast. Hit the curb & handle bars did a 180 parking bike neatly at about a 55 degree angle on the curb which came to a dead stop. Bike stopped; I did not. At least for the next 6 or 7 feet where I skidded on elbow to a pain throbbing stop on the side walk. I made me bleed myself. I was only trying to get some exercise, honest.
Now That It's Been Almost Four Years... - August 05, 2011 - Report this comment
.... almost everyone missed the point. (McKludge apparently got it.) There was nothing at all funny about this situation, which would have been apparent to anyone who read the intro, much less the linked story. The parody was mocking the ridiculous extremes to which we've gone in the name of "security", and mocking the guard himself, *not* teenage girls or their health issues and any associated mood disorders.. Sheesh.

OK, back into the shell again....
