Bearing in mind some of the contributions to another current thread, re "What do you need to write (sic) a song", in particular those concerned with "having something to say" (even if it is only that "De Camptown racetrack five mile long..."), are there any examples among the Comic Songs above of their being genuinely satirical; that is, in the guise of humour, actually saying something more significant than that somebody has wee crustaceans....
