Bob Schwartz was inspired to write our winning entry, a parody of the Beverly Hillbillies theme:
Come鈥檔 listen to my story
About a man named Jed,
A poor Brookswood farmer
Barely kept his family fed,
But then one day
He was clear cutting his land,
When up came a developer
Sack of money in his hand.
Condo King鈥�
High density housing鈥�
Mega stores.
Well the first thing you know
Old Jed鈥檚 a millionaire,
The better half said
Let鈥檚 move away from here,
This place will be unliveable
Just another Willoughby,
So they loaded up their truck
And moved to Beverly.
Hills that is鈥�
Canadian ex-pats鈥�
Hockey stars.
We also had a number of runners up this week.
鈥淲hat! $1.48 for a liter of gas! That will get us as far as Blaine, Johnny!!鈥� suggested Steve Karolyi.
Calvin McRobbie suggested: 鈥淕oogle maps said Hollywood North?鈥�
鈥淥kay Bobby, remember not to mix up gas fill up with the milk fill up!!鈥� was Mary Young鈥檚 entry.
鈥淚 know you don鈥檛 look excited about it my dear, but I鈥檓 taking the pictures so you have to drive to L.A.鈥� suggested S. Shelley.
