Thread Name: Farming with a difference - Song Challenge!
Subject: Lyr Add: I RIPPED OFF WHAT I COULD
This challenge is dead easy:

I Ripped Off What I Could!
(after When I First Came to This Land)

When I first came to this land,
I was not a wealthy man;
So I bought a herd of virtual pigs
And I ripped off all I could!
I called that herd,
"Pigs Absurd"
The subsidies were sweet and good,
I ripped off what I could!

When I first...(as above),
So I hired a managing crew...(as above)
I called that crew "My Subsidy's Due"
Called that herd...(as above)

When I first...(as above),
So I bribed an agricultural inspector...(as above)
I called that inspector "My Protector"
I called that crew...(as above)

When I first...(as above),
So I wrote a new subsidy bill...(as above)
Called each line "I've Got Mine"
Called that inspector...(as above)

Now that I've been in this land,
I am quite a wealthy man;
So I sold off all I owned,
I ripped off what I could;
I called that deal "I'm Well Heeled"
And I quietly skipped town,
I ripped off what I could!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
