Song Parodies ->Authors -> Jan Unwin
"Though not exactly the little old lady type, I am a 50-year old grandmother living in the Pacific Northwest. What I like most about parodies is that I am able to combine my love of humor, a natural knack for poetry, and my appreciation of a good pun, all driven by a need to be creative. I absolutely enjoy cracking myself up. If someone else finds humor in my writing and laughs along with me, then that’s even better.
As I read more and more of the parodies, I am discovering there are some amazingly talented writers here. I’d like to comment on more songs, but I’m not as familiar with the current hits as I am with the oldies. I appreciate all the words of encouragement and hope to submit lots more parodies to this wonderful site."
