Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

File to keep nails from breaking.
File till your hands are aching.
When you're in crowds, you won't slice passersby.
If you file, you won't inflict sorrow
With your hands like a harrow.
And through your gloves, nails won't come poking through.

Bite 'em and face her madness
If you spit out a bad mess.
She will say, "Dear, here's something you should hear:
My patience, you are sorely trying.
Keep it up'you'll be lying
Lifeless on floor; I'm getting riled.
So you must file!"

Thanks, Martha! I do it by having a business that was overly dependent on the vanity of tech companies during the dot-com hallucination. Now that everyone's sobered up, I've got a lot more time on my hands.
