Help! I Need Somebody!

Posted on June 15th, 2008 in Blog, Working Mom

I need you to help me write my goofy anniversary song for Working Mom. All I need from you is a lyric, one line that says heartily (and, as mentioned, goofily) something nice about someone else.

As a bonus, if you get that lyric in to me by California’s midnight (and if you live in the U.S. or Canada), you will be in the running to win a very masculine set of eleven books! (Click here for the complete manly list.) Only a handful of entries have come in — your chances are good!

Extra points for similes: you could really just fill in the blanks here!

“You’re as [blank] as a [blankety-blank] [blank]!”

And — thanks for the help!


Oh, and by the way, that lyric in the title? Disqualified. Not nearly goofy enough.

  1. “Baby, if you were an ice cold big toe,
    I’d be your striped wool sock wrapped around you,”

    “You’ve got a smile so wide,
    the Erie Canal’s got nothing on you,”

    “You’re as cool as a chlorinated pool,
    and honey, not nearly as stinky.”

    Sorry. I tried.

  2. Don’t expect anything clever coming from me. I lack creativity lately. Good luck though.

  3. Well, here goes:
    “Working hard and sticking by me,
    Good lovin’, how lucky can I be?”

    I tried and didn’t want to be too goofy but show enough to win her over????

    If you wanted REALLY goofy, my first thought was:
    “She works as hard a trucker on drugs,
    But all I want is her love and her hugs”
    Good luck and hope I win!
