Cripes Shambles!!!

I honestly thought your little ditty was a very precisely placed slam against the "teaching profession" mentioned above it.

(And a good one too)

It takes on a totaly different meaning when viewed as a slam against parodies.

From "Cornwalis Led a Country Dance" (Pop Goes the Weasle,) to "Acres of Clams" (Rosin the Bow)and its miriad of variations, to the teaming troves of "Bear Went Over the Mountain," and an entire universe of others.....sometimes... I believe... there are more

"parodies"

than there are

"originals."
