One Week 'til Wages Day (an Oscar Hammerstein Parody)

One Week ‘til wages day (an Oscar Hammerstein parody)




Card in the cash point I check for remittance
find to my fury that I own a pittance
this will be one of those sad evenings
where I won’t do all my favourite things

Want to get slaughtered and then eat some noodles
Not sit here patting my aunt Betty’s poodles
just want to sit and watch girls in G-strings
this is one of my most favourite things

girls with no knickers and vaginal flashes
shaking their ‘booties’ and flicking eyelashes
watching them gyrate their moist offerings
these are a few of my favourite things

When the bank’s right, and the news stings
It gets me so mad
I simply remember what next week will bring
And then I don’t feel

So bad

Hmm. The third stanza was my favorite. It took me a second to get into the melody of the song. Not sure why "booties" is in quotes.

Dear MisterJack, I really enjoyed this. I must agree with Malone, the third stanza was my favorite, the imagery was strong. It is a good poem, and made me crack a smile, which is a hard feat indeed. Everyone knows how much I love rhyme, this was right up my alley. Nice job. Regards, CD

Well done, Jack. You could work your way through the Sound of Music.
