Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bawdy ditty - Skeeter on my Peter
Errr... Sorry, but I guess what I thought would clearly be understood as a playful embellishment ("in-depth scholarly review") could have been misconstrued. I mean, we're talking about a playfully off-color nonsense song, fer Gawd's sake... It's not as though I were making sport of 1860s-era regional variations of "The House Carpenter's Wife," is it?

So official notice is now given: No, I don't expect peer review and scholarly assessments of the request. Apologies to any and all legitimate musicologists (heck, the illegitimate ones, too) for my clumsy and insensitive attempt to humorously acknowlege my self consciousness in searching for a few odd verses of less than respectable stature. Merely trying to tap into the collective wit and wisdom of the 'Cat for a wee bit of fun.

Sheesh! When did this become so much work?
