Parody Answering Machine Songs for ACRHPWSRN, PART I

The Princess and I have a mutual "friend" (she would use the term much more loosely than I, I fancy), A Certain Red-Haired Person Who Shall Remain Nameless (ACRHPWSRN) who we used to be close to but whom we never hear from these days, despite multiple calls, postcards and whatnot. I've begun making up parody songs to sing on his answering machine. here's the first, sung sometime after Christmas:


SOMEDAY MAYBE
(sung to the tune of "Someday Lady You'll Accompany Me" by Bob Seeger)
A Southern wind is blowing warm tonight
I've dialed the number and I've got it right
but there's no answer so I've got to go
but before I do there's something you should know
...something you should know...
Someday maybe I'll hear from my Palsberry
I'm calling from the shores of the Atlantic Sea
he's up there next to Lake Erie
Oh, someday maybe I'll hear from my Palsberry
someday maybe I'll hear from my Palsberry...

Please do not include me in the "trying to get in touch with ACRHPWSRN." I gave up a long time ago.

It's too bad, but I don't waste any more tears on Mr. Shallow.

The only reason I can think of for him not responding is that he, for some reason or another, doesn't want to. I've also found that He's too much of a lazy ass to give a reason.

I find his apathy disturbing. I couldn't care less if I never see or hear from him again. I'll always remember him fondly from the good old days, but I just can bring myself to try to restore those halcyon days when he won't even meet partway.

His loss.
