The Lyrics
Just who is who any more? Does it matter?
Well, I don’t know why I’m on AmIRight,
My head is reeling and something ain’t right,
I’m ensnared on pace, on My Lady, Fair,
And I’m wondering ‘bout the Turtle’s affairs,
Sounds just enough FG, Turtle’s on the write,
Struck by the riddle of “ewe”
Yes, I’m struck by the riddle of “ewe”,
And I’m blundering as I think, who is who,
Does the bard of sheep beguile on this chase?
Choosing a role, yeah, a maid waiting with grace,
Sounds just enough FG, Turtle’s on the write,
Struck by the riddle of “ewe”
Well, you carted out your rhyming,
And you vowed that FG had a hand,
RG sends a post that’s callin’
Says it’s you we track, we say
Please . . . Please . . .
Trying to make pretense does enthrall,
And I can see that it makes suspense for all,
Do you fool to show you leap and explore?
‘Cause I don’t know who does the post any more,
Sounds just enough FG, Turtle’s on the write,
Struck by the riddle of “ewe”
Well, you carted out your rhyming,
And you vowed that FG had a hand,
RG sends a post recallin’
Says it’s you we track, we say
Please . . . Please . . .
My head is reeling and something ain’t right,
I’m ensnared on pace, on My Lady, Fair,
And I’m wondering ‘bout the Turtle’s affairs,
Sounds just enough FG, Turtle’s on the write,
Struck by the riddle of “ewe”
Yes, I’m struck by the riddle of “ewe”,
And I’m blundering as I think, who is who,
Does the bard of sheep beguile on this chase?
Choosing a role, yeah, a maid waiting with grace,
Sounds just enough FG, Turtle’s on the write,
Struck by the riddle of “ewe”
Well, you carted out your rhyming,
And you vowed that FG had a hand,
RG sends a post that’s callin’
Says it’s you we track, we say
Please . . . Please . . .
Trying to make pretense does enthrall,
And I can see that it makes suspense for all,
Do you fool to show you leap and explore?
‘Cause I don’t know who does the post any more,

Struck by the riddle of “ewe”
Well, you carted out your rhyming,
And you vowed that FG had a hand,
RG sends a post recallin’
Says it’s you we track, we say
Please . . . Please . . .

This could ewes some 5s, and here they are.
I've heard the Fiddlegirl/Tommy Turtle controversy on that last parody. At first, I was stumped, but now, it don't really matter to me anymore. FG did sound Turtle-like from what I heard. But "ewe" rock!! Ewe can use some 5's, like Stan said!
Only ewe could have written this parody....um, who are you? This is a good write no matter who wrote it. 555
Another chapter in the TT, FG, RG and TG tale. I'm not sure I can keep this all sorted out, but this was a nice write on whatever is going on.
Here's a flock of fives.
. . . just Who is Who . . oh, Boo who !
I must admit, I'm getting a tad confused myself...
("I can't explain myself, said Alice, "because I'm not myself, you see." )
("I can't explain myself, said Alice, "because I'm not myself, you see." )
I haven't been feeling myself lately, either, ever since I discovered that sheep are better.
You should be proud at how many personalities you've cloned -- a tribute, indeed! No one's ever cloned a turtle -- methinks theythinks one's enough -- or too many. :-) (muah)

"Last night, I dreamed that I was a butterfly.
"Now, I wonder: Am I truly a man who dreamed that he was a butterfly, or am I truly a butterfly who is now dreaming that he is a man?"
"Now, I wonder: Am I truly a man who dreamed that he was a butterfly, or am I truly a butterfly who is now dreaming that he is a man?"
Finally, I see a fiendishly clever pattern emerging! No, hold on--that's just gravy n' yam splatters on my readers...
Well done Twiddlegirl. If it matters to ewe, it matters to me.
Aptly put TJC, fiendishly clever indeed.
