Collectors would be wise to snap them up at the fest, signed... in case there are any accidents on the way back home.

A Scottish Folk Singer named Giok
Is travelling right round the clock

He'll hit Apple Hollow
And Man! Will Canuckistan Rock !

Soooo...

By trains, planes and automobiles,
He will get him over the foam,
Where he can visit and roam,
Until he makes it back home,
On trains, planes and automobiles.

Did you keep his sheep for him, Mary? :o))

There was an auld scunner named John
He packed up his bags and was gone
He boarded a plane
Set off towards fame
Expecting some beer and some fun

Crossing the foam.
