I apologize to all those who were offended by this song. I sort of thought that folkies understood irony.
As far as "you wouldn't think it funny if it was a member of your own family" - well the truth is that no joke is funny when its personal, so are we not supposed to have any at all?
Anyway, I'm comparing her to Robin Hood which is a good thing isn't it (unless you're the sheriff of Nottingham).
I think the store was stupid and belligerent for bringing the whole thing to court. I'd have found her innocent myself if I'd been on the jury (clearly i'm not a suitable jury candidate).
Sorry again. I only meant to poke a bit of fun at the whole stupid case as well as have an excuse to think up some terribly convoluted rhymes.
Winona, if you're reading this - I think you're great.
