Thread Name: favorite stories in folk songs?
Subject: RE: favorite stories in folk songs?
I am fond of "The Farmer's Curst Wife" in its many variations which in nonsensical ways suggest that one sex is superior to or smarter than the other. I do try to avoid being sexist or politically incorrect. But this song and story invite us to not take ourselves too seriously.
