For what it's worth, I monitor ALL the postings (cuts in on things like work and sleep). Shel DIDN'T write Put another Log on the Fire--that's Tompall Glazer. The priest and the miraculous hat isn't by Lehrer; it IS in the database as The Hermit. There are lots of Jewish/American parodies--mostly quickies in doggerel. Try "Jesus hates me, this I know. 'Cause my rabbi told me so." As well as some anti-semitic ones: "Sons of bread and gravy, Join the Yiddish navy, fight! fight! fight! for Palestine. Men who love salami, Joun the Yiddish army, etc." (ca 1939, when I heard it)
