With apologies to the ladies and to GUEST, Ducksy for hi-jacking this thread: Here's a real quickly penned parody to the song Old Paint/Leavin' Cheyenne -- ED's Lament ;-D I used to shoot straight with a long-barreled gun But my ammo is spent, ain't havin' no fun My barrel's got a bend that I can't straighten out My shootin' days are over, of that there's no doubt Chorus Good bye old gun, gone with the years Good bye old gun, forever I fear Gone with the years, boy, how I'll miss it Good bye old gun, gone with the years Now my eyesight's still good and I still try to aim But I can't load my gun, don't know who to blame Tried gettin' new bullets with a little more kick But they ain't what's needed 'cause they're not worth a lick. Chorus Asked a man who is trained in the shooting arts Can you straighten my barrel, gimme a new start? Sorry says he, but your action is shot Hand to hand is now the best that you've got. Chorus SC
