July 24th, 2008 | by Tom |This is written with Andy Pratt’s song Avenging Annie as its base – for you youngsters who didn’t listen to WPLR in the Seventies, I have the song on CD. Just don’t make me sing this – Andy used way too much falsetto in his song.
Ode to Bambi
She was born in
She was the runt of the bunch.
She reminded folks of Yoda,
But she couldn’t do any stunts.
Jeannette brought her home one day,
And Bambi became her name.
When she swallowed Laurie’s earring,
That’s how she earned her fame.
Diamond eater she became.
Well, this is the ode to Bambi.
She’s a diamond-eating dog.
For such a “very sickly” pup,
How did she last this long?
She loved to frolic in the snow,
Wrestling holds not so much.
She’d freak out at the door bell,
And want to help you with your lunch.
She never learned to heel at all
When you took her for a walk.
Laurie almost bought her a stroller –
I could not believe such talk.
Well, this is the ode to Bambi.
She’s a diamond-eating dog.
For such a “very sickly” pup,
How did she last this long?
Well, there won’t be barking anymore
When the mailman comes to call.
Her legacy will live beyond
All those pictures on the wall.
And now she’s running fancy free,
Back to sleeping in someone’s bed.
She’ll be fondly held in memories
In all her loved ones’ heads.
Well, this is the ode to Bambi.
She’s a diamond-eating dog.
For such a “very sickly” pup,
How did she last this long?
How did she last this long?
How did she last this long?
She was loved and spoiled by a lot of people in her 16-1/2 years, that’s how!

Well done Tommy. Funny but mushy all the same.
But I still want to hear you sing it. ;>
