Senior Web producer, Mike Reed, wrote a post on 4-23-08 entitled, "My Favorite Eats". Besides making me feel hungry at 8:30 in the morning, it inspired me to post the following parody as sung to me by my favorite future mother-in-law, Lois Luzenski, while we ate breakfast and read Fox 2 blogs while vacationing in Florida.

Author Unknown.

I took my gal to the restaurant, the finest in the street. She said she wasn't hungry, but this is what she eat: A dozen raw, a plate of slaw, a chicken and a roast. Some apple sauce, asparagus and soft shell crabs on toast.

The next thing she tried was oysters fried, her appetite was immense. When she yelled for pie, I thought I'd die - for I had but 50 cents.

To finish off this delicate girl, she cleaned out an ice-cream can. She said she'd tell her mother, "What a fine young man".

She said she'd bring her sister, too, the next time she came for fun. I hand the man the 50 cents, and this is what he done:

He tore my clothes, smashed my nose, with me wiped the floor. Gave me a prize, a pair of black eyes, for the girl that I adore.

Then took me where my pants were loose and threw me over the fence. Take my advice, don't try it twice, when you have but 50 cents.

What's your favorite parody you can remember?
