"Gone Postal" - a parody

[Geffry King]

On rec.music.country.western, there's been a good deal of discussion over
an Alan Jackson song entitled 'Gone Country.' After all this talk about
'Gone Country' and what it means, I couldn't resist posting this parody
of the song, which came to me from an unnamed source. (NOTE: The term
'going postal' refers to recent incidents in which disgruntled employees of
the US postal service have gone on somewhat violent rampages).

DISCLAIMER: While there is no obscene language in this post, the subject
matter may be (shall we say) highly charged. Don't say you weren't
warned. Here, then, is....

GONE POSTAL
sung to the tune of 'Gone Country'
(with apologies to Alan Jackson and Bob McDill)

She used to love her job But now she's beginning to hate it
The new boss harasses her She tries to be nice and take it
Her best friend says to her "Honey, you got to get meaner,
In a cut-throat world a gal's got to make like Lorena"
She goes home that night With tears in her eyes
Comes back at 9 AM and what a surprise

She's Gone Postal
Look at her shoot
She's Gone Postal
He's got holes in his suit
She's gone Postal
OHMIGOD!!!!

He says at the meeting "Gentlemen, I know I'm history,
The company's downsizing - still, there's one thing that's a mystery,
How can you just throw away twenty-three good years of service?
He laughs to himself and the CEO starts lookin' nervous.
He says, "I've got something here which you need to see,
It's a personal memo from you-all to me..."

He's Gone Postal
Look at him shoot
He's Gone Postal
They got holes in them suits
He's Gone Postal
SECURITY!!!!

Well a government job was a thing you once thought of as steady
But there's a New Congress now and their axes are sharpened and ready
And there's a whole lotta people 'round here that are ripe for the dumpin'
When the RIFs come down they'll be too young for buyouts or bumpin'
Some of 'em won't get what they think they're owed
So they'll re-invent government When they re-load

They've gone postal
Look at them shoot
They've gone postal
Holes in them suits
They've Gone Postal
They're lookin for Newt
They've gone Postal....

As a Postal employee of 22 years' service...may I take a copy of that to
my buddies at work? 8-) Good stuff! (And you might want to post that one
on alt.music.filk; there are folks there who would love it...)
