Ox Owl Jim Lost His Chance

There were lots of pretty girls But only one with mahogany curls. This one had shy amber eyes. Which caught one big guy by surprise. His name was Ox Owl Jim. He called her on a whim. Did not think he had a chance But invited her to a dance. Her name was Tori, and she was a doozy. His mother called her a little floozy. At the dance he saw plenty of vigor and vim. She had way too much sophistication for him. So he let her go home with another guy. Once he realized she had caught the other man’s eye. And he went home to his Mama, Ox Owl Ma. Where he lives this day, with her and his pa.

I like this so much...C'mon: Ox Owl Jim and Ox Owl Ma. How do you come up with these wild names?! … Expect to hear this one on a country music station someday. :) gw
