Serenade for the
First Sufferers (Song Parody — sing to
Carolina In The Morning)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
No one suffers more
Than George and Laura from the war.
They’re really mourning.
Photos of the dead
On cable news fill them with dread.
They’re really mourning.
They’d prefer ignoring
Tales of death and gore.
Where are the happy stories
They long to hear once more?
Waking up so early
To the news of hurly burly
In the morning
Makes the Bushes surly.
How they hate to think so early
In the morning!
Pity George and Laura.
No one knows all their pain.
Death’s lousy,
But it’s George under strain.
No one suffers more
Than George and Laura from the war.
They’re really mourning!
