Okay, I've started thinking this new song through... And I've come up with four different ways to approach it, and I'm having trouble settling on one of them. Feedback to help me choose -- or perhaps (though this is unlikely) combine a couple of ideas -- would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the four (rough ideas/general forms) I've got so far:

1) Comic song about monster-monsters, where, by the end of the song, they become sympathetic characters, even though the speaker of the song doesn't realize it. 'Disability,' as such, would not be mentioned, but the narrator would describe the monsters in ways that the disabled are often described (they walk funny, talk funny, want 'special treatment' in order to be included, etc.):

Monsters are coming
(Monsters on the rise)
With Wig-gel-y legs and goo-gel-y eyes
With horns, and wings, and tails and teeth
Monsters are nothing like you and me
(Nothing at all like you and me!)

2) An earnest, realistic, ballad which spells out how the ostracization of the Disabled is treating us like monsters:

(Start)
We have been among you from the start
As long as Man has lived upon the Earth
The differences you claim set us apart
A twist of Fate or accident of birth.

3) A first-to-second person soliloquy which is semi-comic -- Gee, the way you're acting, you'd think I was a monster!:

You stare at me whenever I come near
And when I speak, it's gobbeldy-gook you hear.
You act as if I'm something really scary:
A great big monster, all toothy and all hairy!

4) A semi-comic ballad about how modern society is still holding on to ancient beliefs about the Disabled, without even realizing it (with verses explaining, in a round-about way, the etymology of 'monster'):

Before old Nero rosined up his bow,
Or Aesop told his tales of mice and men --
Yes, in those days so very long ago,
Wise men read the future on the wind*
