Hi Folks;
I think I have mentioned before that one of my other hobbies is music. I enjoy writing parody songs - a song that can be sung to an established tune, but has an entirely different meaning than the original tune. Most of my parody songs are serious, but occasionally I will come up with a parody song that is a bit humorous and perhaps a bit rebellious. I came up with the song below this past Tuesday night. The past year has been tough, and one of the toughest things for me was wearing a mask. I have sleep apnea and wearing those d@mn masks made me feel like I was slowly being smothered. Anyway, if you don’t like it, just move on to another topic. I think more than a few of you will agree with me.

Sung to the tune of “I’m Gonna’ Wash That Man Right Outta’ My Hair” from the Broadway Musical, South Pacific
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
And fling it far away!
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
And fling it far away!
Pull it off, Pull it off!
Toss it out, Toss it out!
Pull it off, Pull it off!
Toss it out, Toss it out!
You’re gonna’ see my whole face today!
With every wart, mole, and wrinkle!
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
I’m gonna’ rip that mask right offa’ my face,
And fling it far away!
Cheers, David Meashey
Edited to correct wording error. Tried to edit to correct the font (it was changing to something else.), but when I open Edit, it stays on Times New Roman! STRANGE!!!
