Seasonal Ribaldry.

Wrote a tune the other night. Work hard, play hard, all that. Here's a gabcast version (reminder: turn down sound to avoid distortion caused by phone recording - and yes, again, no music, just me, sigh - choose "episode 6").

The Lyrics:
15 Men in 30 Days, by Nightprowlkitty


she was a terrible woman
the way she loved her men
she treated them like candy
oh yes, she did, and then

she'd toss the box aside
and catch another ride
and when I asked her
to explain,
she sang me this refrain

I want 15 men in 30 days
girl, you're asking me why?
cause I can get 'em
and I can love 'em
till the day I die.

I want 15 men in 30 days
And I'm not playin' you wise
cause I want 'em
and I can find 'em
like a crackerjack surprise!

She was a terrible woman
the way she loved her men
but when I listened to her story
I remembered way back when

I'd toss the box aside
and catch another ride
and when they asked me
to explain,
I'd sing the same refrain.
(back to chorus, etc.)


Is it ribaldry or ribaldery? And how does one pronounce ribald? rih'-bald? "rye'-bald"? Don't hear folks say that word very often.

'Course I am but a mere amateur in this field. Here is a maestro!
