Subject: RE: LYR. ADD.
One of those WICKED ones:

Since the tune allows for ONE MORE VERSE, why not exercise our wits and rhyming dictionaries to compose final verse alternates to singing the last verse twice; sort of a personal summation or moral coda to put t' th' tail o' th' tale. Oh Ala-a-a-a-an!... (whose name I call, not to prefer one wordsmith to another, -- we've talent here a'plenty --, but because his hyperlink was such a nifty surprise.)

(Anyone out there with the breath control to do the song AND the jig?! Could bring down a house right smart, doncha reckon?)

RE-E-E-E CESSSSS!
