Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Pretty self explanatory...it's practically summer!!
Don't buy me gloves
Gloves
Don't buy me gloves

I got me a gift from my boyfriend
'Cause we got in a big fight
It's not too often gifts he'll send
Must've known that I was right
But I could not say, "Thank you, honey!"
I saw that he bought me gloves

They were from Wal-Mart's discount cart
Saw them just the other day
At Christmas it might have been smart
But we're just a week from May
Don't mean to be picky, Honey
Honey, don't buy me gloves

Don't buy me gloves
It's the thought that counts I know
Don't buy me gloves
No no no no

You don't need to buy me fancy things
To make me love you so
But I'd rather not receive in Spring
Some winter clothes, you know
I don't want you spendin' money
If you're gonna buy me gloves

Owwwww

Why these gloves?
Were you thinking? I don't know
Don't buy me gloves
No no no no

Flowers would be alright with me
A night on the town
Save the mittens for the times when we
See snowfall coming down
Don't think I'm ungrateful, Honey
But I don't want these gloves

Why these gloves?
Gloves
Why these gloves?
Oh...

Guess guys don't know what a somewhat proper gift is, huh? Good job! 5's

Mummy will buy him gloves

...or something like that :-)

But if they were white gloves you could wear them before Labor Day, right? ;-)

If they WERE...but unfortunately they are like padded gray ones...with a velcro clasp...which, according to MY fashion rules, are never acceptable!

I voted on this one about an hour ago, but after I placed my vote, my computer began to freeze, so I'm not sure if it went through or not. Then I was going to write a comment, but I couldn't do that because the screen was frozen. Now that my computer's back to normal, I can tell you that this was a great parody and that you did a fine job with it. My vote, by the way, is 5-5-5.

Arwen, hadn't even looked at the entry list for today. I just got through doing the SOTM voting for March and I came over to see the comments. Really good job, 5's. Hmmm...Walmart's discount cart --this is, how you say -- Tacky... Now even I could do better than that (actually, you wouldn't have expected anything because I don't automatically give gifts for "designated occasions" and I usually kind of let that be known before any occur. I don't expect any, either. I prefer to give gifts when they are NOT expected, just because I feel like giving. I get a lot more satisfaction out of that and the recipient's usually enjoy the surprise and gift more than they might have on, say, Christmas morning. But I would have probably written you something - just what would depend on where we were at in the relationship. Maybe something poking a little good-natured fun and then perhaps a small, but tasteful little gift based on whatever I knew about your preferences, if I could find something I thought you would appreciate. Of course in my 20's there's no telling what I might I done or thought). But, anyway, he if doesn't get it, he won't understand your reaction, either.

Thanks, Paul...and this was a surprise gift...it was an "I'm sorry" gift which is unprecedented...(he's really not a gift giver at all)...so it was a nice surprise. As for the nature of the present...the stupid gloves...there is a story behind them...and it's a longer story than I'll tell here...so it was funny...which he meant it to be...but I had to write the song to give him a hard time...because that is just how we work. He does stupid things that he knows are stupid...and I make fun of him. Isn't that what true love is all about, anyway?? =) Thanks again for the comment...a lady would be truly lucky to receive any gift you'd have in store for her, I'm sure!

Arwen - Ah, well it looks like I qualified for the "Finals" in the "Conclusion Jump" here. Well, I'm glad you & the beau have an understanding because that's really pretty much what it's all about, you know.

Leo...I hate when I come to old parodies and realize that I've been slacking my thank yous...but you know I appreciate it, right? Or is that why you didn't speak to me all day the 28th of December???

Kat...no...poor Arwen. That is the moral of almost everything I write. Poor Arwen. =)
