*briefly considers writing a review of the rehearsal dinner for his small-town newspaper*

"...a toast, which resulted in an all-out food fight, strangely reminiscent of a scene in a story I once read about prepubescent children training to fight an interstellar war."

About a Raia I'll sing a song,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
About a Raia I'll sing a song,
Who knew that the party was going wrong;
Not only did it go so wrong,
She did every one of us in, us in -
She did every one of us in.

One evening in a fit of pique,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
One evening in a fit of pique,
She jumped right up in a silent shriek;
There was a mouse on the floor, and so meek -
Nobody had brought him right in, right in,
Nobody had brought him right in.

Her rivals she could not dare stand,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
Her rivals she could not dare stand,
A food from the recipe she planned;
And Quiddie died with the spoon in her hand -
And Ralphie put on a grin, a grin,
And ralphie put on a grin.

She weighed Tom Davidson down with stones,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
She weighed Tom Davidson down with stones,
And sent him off to Davy Jones;
All Steve Rogers had found were some bones -
And occasional pieces of skin, of skin,
And occasional pieces of skin.

She set the Hatrack stove on fire,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
She set the Hatrack stove on fire,
And burned dear bev'ley, for she was a crier;
And Raia danced round the funeral pyre -
Playing a violin, o-lin,
Pleaying a violin.

That eve, when she ran out of what to do,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
That eve, when she ran out of what to do,
She chopped up our dear-most Rivka in two;
And staked her along with the kitchens' full crew -
And invited I3 for the din, the din;
And invited I3 for the din.

And when at last sexy JH came by,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
And when at last sexy JH came by,
Her petty pranks she could not deny;
For then she knew she'd have to lie -
And lying she knew was a sin, a sin,
And lying she knew was a sin.

My tragic tale I won't prolong,
Sing Hatrack in style is in:
My tragic tale I won't prolong,
And If you did not enjoy this song -
You're all to blame if it's too long;
You should not have let me begin, begin,
You should not have let me begin.

***

That was pretty labor intensive, JH. [Smile]

(btw - Your tongue wouldn't be so much sticking out at me as it would be in the panting position. You're in your teens, for Pete's sake! Women are all panting material!)

I stuck my tongue out at you, Ralphie, because you called me "Spanky" months back. [Taunt]

No hard feelings on my behalf, by the way.
