McGrath: Nah, I like the idea of a mynah's union (with birdseed for dues?). Right now my mind's ear is listening to Patsy Cline belt out your song. It sounds just lovely! And such a sad song, Coal Mynah (do you have a daughter?)! MMario, I wish I knew the tune to sing along with your piece; is the one in DT a different version? I can't make heads or tails of that tune (I'm balladally challenged).

mousethief: Who's calling whom what?? You can't fool me; I saw your 6/20/01 post on the SCA thread! Sounded pretty self-debasing to me.

Here's 'nuther song:


"Mynah Can Spat" Dance
(Tune: Mexican Hat Dance)

Oh, I want you to be a divorcee
'Cause I heard that old mynah of yours say
All that you (in my absence, of course) say
To your lover-girl over the phone!

"Divorce, divorce, divorce"...
Don't tell me you have remorse
For what you've done. My source
Has said that you said, "Divorce"!

Oh, the bird says you tell her, "I love you."
Though I'd thought that you put me above you,
I've developed a diff'rent point óf view
And I'm kicking you out on your own!

Divorce, divorce, divorce
Is what I would like to force
But will the judge endorse
A mynah that says, "Divorce"?!
