In response, I had a little fun with this and decided to write up a fun little song in their behalf. It is to be sung to the tune (with minor adjustments) of the popular Disney song, "Someday, My Prince Will Come".
Someday...
Somewhere, speaking LOUDLY
There's a brash girl who just annoys me
Someone who simply won't lower her tone
Someone who's yelling FOREVER
Some day my solace will come
And I will relax some
And how thrilling that moment will be...
When laryngitis will strike that lady!!!
She'll whisper, "This can't be true!"
And she'll whisper the whole day through
So this I ern'stly pray:
To see that blessed day!
That day when my solace will come!!!

Hopefully Disney won't get after me for ruining its music. I took the lyrics from Someday, My Prince Will Come and twisted it a bit. My sister had a copy of the music from the Broadway showing years ago when New York City was trying to clean up Times Square, and I used that arrangement, so it is not identical to the movie version everyone is familiar with. I have rewritten words to this song for many purposes. It's extraordinarily flexible. This particular version as I stated above I wrote while I was looking into all the things I could do on a trip to Britain. While I researched, I kept coming across these comments and messages about how the people in Europe found American tourists annoying. Here and there I came across it, and saw enough times that my sense of humor caught up with it, and these words were created as a result.
It was meant as a joke about tourists; however, the more I thought about it, the more I realized this could extend to more than tourists. I worked in a clinic at the time where we got all kinds of characters coming in, and while thinking about them, it seemed appropriate to dedicate these words to the people in the country who have to work in customer service or with people on a daily basis. I'm quite sure they could all think of that someone they thought about in the same manner as the expressions in this poem.
Kudos to all out there who have to deal with people and their nonsense on a daily basis!
As of 8/2/2020, I now have a singing version of it on my YouTube:
