She Loved Her Hambone To His Bone
She lost her hambone on Monday at nine-fifty-nine.

The Hambone Loan
in my bizarre trailer park,
we have a handyman,
very strange appearance,
to imagine, I doubt you can...
his name is hambone,
he's a really kind'a nice guy
but sometimes he'll seek money,
well, at least, he'll give it a try
"can you lend me....."
"I cut your grass, you owe me....."
it's hard to put in words
he's irreplaceable in some ways,
in others, he's for
