The Lyrics

From the old "Weird War II" trivia books I found an entry about a French elderly lady that lost her husband during the invasion of France in 1940. Her husband went to investigate and never came back. Marie Pugh, age 73, was told that her husband had been run over by a German panzer in the countryside as he crossed in front of the column. Rather than mourn, she waited for the Germans to come calling... and they did shortly therafter with a motorcycle recon crew who stopped by. She smiled and asked them in for bread and cheese. As they sat down and began eating she calmly drew a revolver from her drawer and proceeded to shoot the first man in the face and then the other in the throat and chest. She cleaned up the mess and personally buried them under cover of night under her pig pen, covering them with pig sh-t in their graves. She moved their bike into her barn and piled hay over it while removing the MG-34 from the side car mount. She then went into the woods and shot down three more German troops out of a group in the woods. The Germans were stunned and thought she was a young resistance fighter as she wore a bright red cape, workman's gloves and outfit and hood/mask to protect her identity. Then, she went back to her farm and resumed her life. The Germans never suspected her and she even shared with them some fruit on occasion. She survived WW2 and lived until 1952. She figured 5 for the life of one was justice!
Machine Gun “Granny” Pugh
killed Bosch swine

Husband run over by a panzer crew
She was fumin’
Was hate consumin’

German recon asked for it
When they came around
Old woman acted friendly
With a revolver she shot them down

[As they ate bread and cheese- during chow-down]

Machine Gun “Granny” Pugh
killed Bosch swine
Took her time!

She buried two
Out of view
Under doo
In grave under pig pen
Their bike hid there
She stole their MG
Blood everywhere

[In ambush scares]

Was gutsy
Machine Gun “Granny” Pugh
killed Bosch swine
(Her name was Marie and she was 73!!!)

You referenced a book? I thought this trivia (which is mostly what you write) would have been stored in your semi-eidetic memory. The IPASOY OS always spawns crappy parodies, but I forgive where Ms. Pugh does not, so I will not grade. That shouldn't stop you from giving yourself the usual starting salvo of 3 sets of 5s. Note that the OS is used liberally in Jim Jarmusch's "Stranger Than Paradise" (1984), which I'm sure you have in your film collection. ; )

Looks like you don't have much competition today...

One Frenchie who didn't surrender. Reminds me of the scene in that movie about the Jewish resistance fighters. Borrowed a French 1873 revolver and 4 cartridges, goes to the home of a Polish or Ukrainian policeman, shoots him and his two sons at their kitchen table while the wife looks on. She begs him to shoot her, but he won't waste his last bullet.

Leave Robert alone, PDphile!!! At least he is keeping some of us entertained no matter what his topic is for the day. 5-5-5 :))

Hey, MM, if you're gonna be a troll, be an original one and don't glom onto an established moniker. You could be entertained for hours by a piece of string. Also, calling Percy a pedophile is just dumb. PD happens to be the greatest poet on the Dumont Network, despite his lisp. Patrick -- inspiring and heartwarming story. If that movie has a revival, remind me to miss it. OITLN -- your powers of observation are acute. You're needed in the South Indian Ocean.

@CB, not into puppet talk nor shows. Btw, you need to be under the Indian Ocean :)
