Mort Dixon

Parody Song Title:

"I’m Cooking Plover No More—Now Rover"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

I’m cooking plover no more—now Rover;
Scored, cored, Rover’s cooked for four.
Once in the sunshine, he’d frolic and play
Now up our snuff site wafts wag-tail flambé.
So, feed we’re gaining; no need restraining
Our forks. . .gorge on pork no more.
Barbicued* rovers next door loped over:
Doped four barbecued—next chore.


*portmanteau neologism: barbi[tuate] + [barbe]cued

DKTOS but a funny little ditty - I seem to remember a KFC got caught doing that in the 70's

Multpun in parover - Barry at his best.
And for the first time in 3+ years, TT needed the explanation, as the single vowel change was a bit too skillfully subtle to be "dissected", so to speak. But wouldn't the remaining traces in the bloodstream make for a slightly toxic waist? .... Vote: So be him, Pento! Barb it all!
