VERSE 1: Theresa Marie was a beautiful girl. with a smile that could light up the room. But now the plans of three evil men are rushing her towards her doom. Her cruel faithless husband now wants her dead-- Wants to marry another wife. Why can't he just see, Terri ought to be free. She and he could get on with life. CHORUS: She's kept like a bird in a barren cage. 'Cos her husband keeps it bare. No pictures, no music, no pets, no TV. Her life is so lonely there. But Terri is loved by her family and by thousands from coast to coast. Though her life has been sold for corrupt men's gold she refuses to give up the ghost. VERSE 2: The more one looks into this sordid case, The clearer the evil plot. They're not trying to starve her because she's dying, but rather because she's not. In this quest Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and Judge Greer Are fighting with all their might Not because Terri won't speak up, But rather because she might. REPEAT CHORUS VERSE 3: So what shall become of Michael's bird? Will he starve her as he intends? Or will she be rescued by those far and wide, who'd be honored to be called her friends? The future right now, is hard to see. Though a showdown is coming nigh. Will the forces of life trump the judge who says: "The law of the case is that she must die"? REPEAT CHORUSThe MIDI file has been updated as well, including an 8-bar intro.
Excellent teamwork!
Terri ping to 43! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
This is wonderful!
I really like it! Would you mind if I put it in an e-mail to my family? How would I credit you? Please FM with an answer, if you cannot post it publicly.
This needs mass exposure!
[with a lump in my throat & tears down my cheeks]...Bless you supercat
more comments:
"Her cruel faithless husband now wants her dead,
To MARry anOTHer WIFE."
- short line, emphasis, very similar to "the fairest of all the sights" in the original.
"And they could get on with life."
"Sordid" is good. 'cause that's what it is.
I'd leave out "in this quest" - just name the names:
"Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and Judge Greer
Are fighting with all their might."
"They don't want to starve her because she's dying."
"NOT because TERri WON'T speak UP," This one is o.k. It works & it makes a good point.
Everything else looks fine to me.
Go for it!
