To the tune of "Don't Cry Out Loud" by Melissa Manchester
& dedicated to F.i.in.e Moods
For Cryin' Out Loud!
Melissa sang a song and it really hurt my ears:
It was all about a clown in some old circus.
An awful tune like this can really wreck careers;
I think she sang it just so she could irk us!
Her dreadful caterwauling's
Such a pain!
It's like an ice-pick driven
Through my brain.
I'd tell her:
DON'T SING THAT SONG!
Just stifle your voice,
And give us a choice that's better.
IT SOUNDS SO WRONG
When you wail and moan
A maudlin and mopey kind of tone.
Melissa wrecked the chorus and began the second verse,
And I really wasn't in the mood to hear it.
I was hoping that the music wouldn't get much worse,
So I prayed to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!
Melissa isn't stopping,
So I frown:
Will someone tell this woman
To pipe down?
Melissa,
DON'T SING THAT SONG!
It's driving me mad;
It really is bad and brutal.
IT SOUNDS SO WRONG!
You've given your best,
But now we ask, please give it a rest.
DON'T SING THAT SONG!
Just put it on mute!
It's really not cute or cheerful.
IT SOUNDS SO WRONG
Please cease and desist!
Your warbling, sister, won't be missed ….
