No wait! I've got it!

I will make a youtube video. I will get the angelic women from my choir to sing this song with that tune and my lyrics. And just like Percy et al. used the superior medium of publishing to eclipse the oral tradition, I will likewise use the superior medium of youtube to eclipse your literary one. I will "improve" and "refine" and ultimately bury your version.

And I will put across the top in bold letters, "FROM THE MOUTH OF THE GREAT BLOODY SPINNING WHEEL!" And people will say, "My, my, weren't women clever back then!" They will never doubt me unless they pick up a book, so you see, my chances of my prevailing in this matter are excellent.

Step aside! I know how this is done! (laughs like a witch) For I have learned from the masters, those wicked sorcerers with a pen! And the good old days are gone. You can no longer torch me up with society's approval :-)

Except in Pakistan...

Some imagination, eh?
