Скачать или смотреть (I'm Gonna Stick My) Head into the Sand, a Winter Wonderland writing parody

I entered (and won!) the holiday song parody writing contest through Miss Snark's blog. Yippee! You can hear my winning entry here. Feel free to sing along! Visit my website for more fun parodies: www.suefliess.com.

Here are the lyrics:

(I’m Gonna Stick My) Head into the Sand
sung to Winter Wonderland)
By Sue Fliess

My hands wring, at revision.
I don’t see my editor’s vision.
My story is slight,
A total rewrite.
I’m gonna stick my head into the sand.

Deadlines loom, I am sweating.
All my skills, I’m forgetting.
My ending is weak,
My characters, bleak.
Nothing’s turning out as I had planned.

In the margins I can see her edits.
Things like “Done before” and “Too cliché.”
She says “Can you fix this?”
I say, “All right.”
And then I cry into my Cabernet.

Gone away is my sanity.
Every thought is profanity.
My cheeks are all flushed.
My ego is crushed.
I’m gonna stick my head into the sand.

In the margins I can see her edits.
Things like “Done before” and “Too cliché.”
She says “Can you fix this?”
I say, “All right.”
And then I polish off the Cabernet.

I request an extension
So I can give the story tension.
But panic sets in.
My plot is too thin.
I’m gonna stick my head into the sand.
