A Country Girl's Writing

Happy New Year's!!!!!  In 1992 July 20th an Australian children's tv show called , "Bananas in Pajamas" starred on ABC. In January 2012 there was a video that was posted on YouTube that used the theme song to the show and essentially switched Bananas to Llamas.  Last week I went to my works Christmas party, and one of my co-workers was wearing a Christmas themed Llama onesie. I told my parents about the outfit and my mom showed me the theme song for Bananas in Pajamas. She was like you have to sing this to your co-worker. I didn't really like the idea at first then my dad joined in on it and was like you really should do it.  So I wrote a parody too the first part of the song.  Here is my parody lyrics:  Bearded  llamas in pajamas  Throwing pizzas in the air.  Bearded llamas in pajamas  Putting toppings on in pairs.  Bearded llamas in pajamas  With prep-work to prepare. Bearded llamas in Pajamas,  So ...

I have often left my perch  Just to sing a note. So to let it fly  Throughout all the earth  To spread a tone of truth.  By Evelyn Creon

 Inspired by the endless dance parties my siblings, cousins, and I have in the kitchen when the parents are away.  Dancin' in the kitchen On a cold stary night, Not a care in the world, Cause we're doin' alright. we have dinner and drinks To last the whole night long; With the music playin' A good ol' fashion song. We got Apple pastries, We got gizzards galore! We've got huckleberries, steak an' some roasted corn. There's greens from the garden, Last year's squash from the field.

Granny'll be out jigger That no one ever ever beats, A duet I will sing Like a champ on the streets. Mama will be dancin' With a slip and a dip, Aunt Diane will do dishes With an ol' swing of hips. Uncle Tony will sing Next to papa and me, While the little youngin...

She Sat there, tied to a chair; Damaged and confused.  To calm the dark fear of death, She there intuned. "Away with me forever, never too be seen. A whisper and a shadow forever I will be.  No one to say, "I love you." Or,"Are you okay?" No one to say, "hold on now, we'll make it through the day." Only a dark shadow, that crawls across the room. Only a whisper that says, "It will all be over soon." Only dark cold depths; that never pass me by.  Only terrible ice winds; that beat against the sky.  Only me tide up; tight, to die and endless death.  So, this song I will sing until my last dying breath." The song she sang it 'bout thrice; On the fourth she tried,  But her heart ceased to beat.  Then she there did die.  They found her in the morning  Underneath the sky.  Iced over by all the cold, All to horrify.  Nobody knew who she was. Or why she was there.  They only ...
