They are here: Piers Plowman's Archers Parodies The very first on the list might be of interest to people here, if any of them are. |

I liked their version of Ian Tyson's Four Strong Winds, called Four Two-Fours. It's about cross border shopping: "Think I'll go down to Rodchester Shopping's good there in the mall, Got some friends that I could go shopping for..." |

She picks mushrooms 1,2,3, Got a light on her hat so she can see." |

Tune "My heart has a mind of its own" At the local grocery store, I found a shopping cart But one of its wheels just wouldn't start although the other three, they all turn left you see Guess my cart has a mind of its own. I wanted aisle thirteen to buy some baking goods but these wheels, they don't turn the way they should and so I ended up, in personal feminine stuff Guess my cart has a mind of its own. The butcher fancies me, each time I pass him by he looks me up and down and winks his eye. I tell this cart of mine to find the checkout line but it wants to go around just one more time. I've been around this store eleven times or more Guess my cart has a mind of its own. |
