Parody- Scarlet and Me
Scarlet is a southern belle quite spoiled,
she is very beautiful with flawless skin;
this southern belle has many beaus,
fiddle-dee-dee is her favorite reply!
Great balls on fire she has a temper,
but within Scarlet is a great strength;
she fights for her home and family,
she went to town wearing a green curtain!
Scarlet is a survivor!
I am a Canadian girl quite loved,
been told I am pretty and have lovely hair;
I have had a few boyfriends so far.
oh, fiddle what? I would never say that!
Great ball of what? I would never say that either,
and I am a flowing river and calm as a pond;
but, I have courage too though would never wear
a green curtain to town even if made of velvet!
But, I am a survivor too!
Anyways, the parody between Scarlet and me,
is probably a travesty, an exaggeration, and silly
except . . when I am confronted with a problem
I have been known to say . . .
"I'll think about that tomorrow, after all tomorrow is another day!"
