"Ramona's Revenge" is a song by Tom T. Hall about a woman named Ramona who lives in the neighborhood. Ramona has a handicap - she cannot speak or spell. However, she has a pretty walk that is noticed by the people around her. Because Ramona cannot communicate well, nobody asks her out, except for "bad-eye" Thompson. Despite being a familiar figure in the neighborhood, Thompson has his own handicap too, which is his bad eye. One day Ramona finds herself pregnant, and her mom is very angry because she cannot understand how this could happen. The neighbors come together to support Ramona, and the county judge also comes, but just to help them and not in his official capacity. When the neighbors gather around Ramona's porch, she closes one eye and spits on the ground, which shows that she is not helpless as people thought she was. The song's message is that people with handicaps or disabilities also have feelings and desires, and they should not be ignored or made fun of by others. Despite being handicapped, Ramona had a life of her own, and her revenge is her own way of showing that she is not helpless.
