Has nobody figured out that Guest is not a prude, nor does he think Tom Paxton is a pervert? He's simply poking fun at a certain type of folkie who really is a prude. There aren't too many like that on Mudcat, but think of the editors of Rise Up Singing, who bowdlerized the Gordon Lightfoot line "Well, the liquor tasted good, and the women all were fast" to read "Well, the liquor tasted good and the days went by so fast (or something like that)." (Early Morning Rain)

Who could really be taken aback by the frankness of "marvellous rear?" The post was just satire, boys and girls. There's nothing wrong with it.
