The Lyrics

Lunch, Maria, meatless maid?
Oh, she just tossed her greens up.
He's a carnivore; she barfs twice a day.
She stands sideways, you can't see 'er,
'Cause she transcends slim, Maria.
Fills up on a Chiclet . . .out comes the finger hook.
A small cap fully enfolds her,
Bones are sticking through her shoulders,
Makes her look a lot like a skeletal woman.

Lunch, Maria, meatless maid?
Always keeps her dish neatly,
Because it's free alimentatively.

Spits food out--she must be thinner,
She's always absent for dinner.
Her friends tell her they can't see her 'cause she's so slim.
Takes a pill to keep her sated.
Had a scone once--almost ate it.
Skippin' every supper and some Slimfast shuns too.

Oh, lunch, Maria, meatless maid?
Scared 'cause she thinks she's stout, too!
Give her a drink, ice clinks and then she'll spew.

John, I like the line "had a scone once, almost ate it".......you've captured some real stuff here-----yeah, I'm okay as long as I stay away from your political parodies---but I've got to hand it to you, you have been generous with your comments to me, even though your politics are very different from mine; I guess we'd all be better off if we had a website called Amiwrong, for the serious stuff, and Amiright, just for funny stuff.

Thanks Royce. Very nice comment. I try to comment based on craft rather than point of view, and your craft is very good. I tend to get carried away in these things. With some exceptions, I don't feel as vehemently as the lyrics might suggest. I steer clearer than I used to of political stuff, so when I do it, it's usually over the top. This stab at Maria was admittedly kind of a cheap shot. I like your idea about the two sites. Alvin--thanks.
