Well, here I thought I might be beating a dead horse with this Challenge!, and here you all come up with some more great songs. ;-) Here are your Silver B.L.O.B.s, my dear Challenge!rs:

To derrymacash, for these cockle-warming lines ('mount of a queen' - I love it! I'm definitely going to try that line on Dear Hubby...):

"Oh Zippy," he said, "for the rest of your days
You could kick your oul' heels, you would live at your aise
In pastures where grass grows so lush and so green
You could live out your life like the mount of a queen"

To Jack the Sailor for this verse ('baseball players and long shot prayers' -- wonderful!):

After ten years we gave another try
'cause the horse it was starting to cry
There were baseball players and long shot prayers
There were people betting on a snail
A person has a fair race if it don't go to far
The handicappers had it pegged
A slow horse can win at fifty yards
Because the human has only got two legs.

To Deda, for her interspecies introspection with:

He doesn't gallop, he can barely mosey
He lost a footrace to a guy named Jose
Slow as turtles watching wall paint dry
He finally won one on his 90th try

And to 'Master McGrath', for this Golden B.L.O.B. winner of a verse:

So all you nags who've never won,
Mary Carter's not the only one,
who still can rise, surpris-
-ing all those smiling bastards


Fantastic job, everyone!
