Its come up before here, but I'd put my Dad up against anyone when it came to partially remembered song lyrics and poems. Now he did know a lot of them but mostly he remembered only a verse here or a line there and in all cases as they suited his needs which were to supply his somewhat off the wall sense of humor (Y'all understand now?).

He'd combine this with that or quite annoyingly (this'll be familiar too) latch onto something and beat it to death until he had a great laugh over it, leaving my Mom and I groaning and in pain. Plus there were certain key words which would trigger some piece of a poem or a half of a song verse (or chorus) or some inane piece of wacky pseudo folklore.

Ya' know, all in all, I really never had a chance...............................................
