Subject: Tune Add: MALONEY WANTS A DRINK (Behan)
Well, nothing with your man and the Three Fates yet, but I did come up with another famous, though fictional woman Mr. Maloney was bound to have met: Eskimo Nell!

An Eskimo named Nell met your John Patrick in the snow.
He gave her twenty dollars and he gave her quite a go.
Said Nell, "I thought you southern men just didn't have the knack,
But if you do that one more time, I'll give your money back."

In addition, I spoke with Mrrzy an hour or so ago. My cell phone lost the signal before we were quite done, but we came up with the tune. This may not be QUITE right, but it's close:

The very low notes in the last line are to indicate a pause for a *clap, clap* (most probably pounding one's mugs on the table, of course)

P.S. This had been being a very bad evening for me (mostly just the results of a bad day). A little humorous song got me out of it. Thanks, Mrrzy! Sorry my cell phone lost the signal there suddenly *G*
