Dear Bee:
Miss Marcia read with great interest of the successful Sting Operation your hive has conducted. Do not worry about She-Who-Tracks and her fellow escapees. As the Official Hostess of Mohicanland, I will have hot food and cold drinks awaiting them upon their arrival. I also will have many bars of Grandma's Lye Soap on hand to help them freshen up after their long captivity and arduous journey home. You remember Grandma's Lye Soap don't you? *ahem...mi, mi, mi....*
Do you remember Grandma's Lye Soap,
Good for everything in the home,
And the secret was in the scrubbing,
It wouldn't suds, and wouldn't foam,
Chorus: Oh, let us sing right out (sing out!)
For Grandma's Lye Soap,
Sing it out, all over the place!
For pots and pans, and dirty dishes,
And for your hands,
And for your face!
Little Therman, and Brother Herman,
Had an aversion to washing their ears...
Grandma scrubbed them with her lye soap,
And they haven't heard a word in years!
(Repeat chorus)
Mrs. O'Malley, out in the valley,
Suffered from ulcers, I understand,
She swallowed a cake of Grandma's Lye Soap,
Has the cleanest ulcers in the land!
(repeat chorus)
There's more, but you (surely!) get my drift!!
Back to cooking up some of my DownHome Fuu-uuudge for She and Crew!
Bye, y'all!
Miss Marcia
