Subject: RE: On Top of Old Smokey - parody problem
Correction:

That makes sense since "ass" rhymes with "glass".

But I'm sure you figured that out.

:0}

Also, this piece of glass stuck up one's ass is also found int the numerous versions of "Miss Suzie* had a steamboat" rhymes.
I'm wondering what other children's rhymes contain this floating meme {if that's the right term}.

* or Miss Lucy, or Miss Molly etc etc etc

The Miss Susie had a steamboat rhyme usually starts like this:
Miss Lucy had a steam boat,
The steam boat had a bell.
Miss Lucy went to heaven,
The steam boat went to
Hell-o operator,
Give me number nine,
If I get disconnected,
I'll kick your
Behind the 'fridgerator
There sat a piece of glass,
Miss Lucy sat upon it
And cut her big fat
As-k me no more questions,
Tell you me more lies....
