a Lucy character 

bitter ignorant loud and sure of herself

The stuff of Karen's on yer phone

Where have they been all these years?

Oh they were always here

Raising Persian cats 

listening to country western

On the small radio on the refrigerator

Married to a laughing pot bellied welder

The house smelled of cat pee and was covered in fur

and you had a thing for a gal named Pam Putt

Who lived in the country 

And raised horses

She rode the bus to school
