G&S meets folk!
This is priceless...Just heard it on NPR's Simply Folk. It's calling foretopsl's name!
"I am the very model of the modern folk musi c-i-an
I like at once to follow and to satirize tradit-i-on.
I listen to those codgers with their ballads from the days of yore,
And somewhere on a closet shelf I think I have a dulcimore
...
From nine to five I work as a computer statistic-i-an,
Which makes him quite the model of the modern folk music-i-an."
