Thanks, all. Here's Number Two--just because I went through the "which dead animal shall I do?" exercise this morning, and there wasn't any point in waiting any longer.

This is the only song I ever co-wrote with my daughter, who is all grown up and graduated from college and married and working now, and doesn't like to be reminded about it.

And yes, I suppose it could be considered a parody of sorts--except I never could follow Mel Torme's fruity chords, and re-did it as country music. Obviously, it echoes the original closely enough so you can tell where it came from.
