In the far reaches of my mind there is
A band willing to swing into action
Whenever my attention wanders by.
They've somewhere found a sultry girl singer
(The 1950s were awash in sultry girl singers;
You tripped over them everywhere).
She knows most of the lyrics to an old ad
For Carolina Rice and is willing to sing them
Over and over, telling me she comes
From Carolina so I should pardon her drawl;
She's here to sell extra long grain rice to you-all.
True to her original, she refuses to prounce the r
In nourishment so the word becomes nuhishment
As in "For quality and nuhishment it's Carolina Rice."
Nothing will break her of this habit.
