Pamela Purse yelled, "Ladies first,"
Pushing in front of the ice cream line.
Pamela Purse yelled, "Ladies first,"
Grabbing the ketchup at dinnertime.
Climbing on the morning bus
She'd shove right by all of us
And there'd be a tiff or a fight or a fuss
When Pamela Purse yelled, "Ladies first."
Pamela Purse screamed, "Ladies first,"
When we went off on our jungle trip.
Pamela Purse said her thirst was worse
And guzzled our water, every sip.
And when we got grabbed by that wild savage band,
Who tied us together and made us all stand
In a long line in front of the King of the land-
A cannibal known as Fry-'Em-Up Dan,
Who sat on his throne in a bib so grand
With a lick of his lips and a fork in his hand,
As he tried to decide who'd be first in the pan-
From back of the line, in that shrill voice of hers,
Pamela Purse yelled, "Ladies first."

Wow, what brought that on? My earliest memories of this poem are from the record "Free to Be You and Me" where this poem was dramatized. It also had a story about Atalanta, who wanted the chance to be friends with the prince before having to marry him.
Carolyn remembered it from third grade : )
and so she was...
...and very tasty too.
Just to let you know, I'm okay. I love this poem. Also one from Where the Sidewalk Ends -- This Started Out as Jumping Rope.
I looked this up last night too, but I was too lazy to post it. :-)
Glad you're okay Katya--I've been thinking about you!
Thanks, Gina. Katrina covered a much larger area than normal. The last storm (which actually landed nearer to Mobile) we lost no power at all.
Oh my gosh. That is so funny. Thank you. I wish we could do that with everybody that cuts in line. (Just send 'em to the cannibals!)
I remember reading this poem back sometime ago. I think it is so true how some people just have to be first.Have you noticed that even when your going down the road in your car people behind you zoom around you just to be first. To funny! At the grocery store one time I watched this grown man put his groceries down behind another customer. There were other customers in other long lines waiting and this cashier said she was opening a new line.That man grabbed up all his stuff,threw it back in his cart and honestly, he pushed his way threw to be first. I could not believe his rudeness.
So I screamed Pamela Purse screamed ladies first to fry up Dan the cannibal. Everyone started laughing.As pitiful as it was it was funny too.
LADIES FIRST DIE!!!!!!!

Well if a man was there at the time she was and he was looking for a wife she would probably say LADIES FIRST!!!
And the guy would run off screaming
