Parody fragments
I've got a zillion songs I started but never finished. One of them, a decade or more ago, I got as far as
Loud were the jeers of the Munchkin folk as they pointed at the map,
Saying, "Now, for the thousandth time, we hope we've made it clear:
This place called 'Kansas' may exist, but you can't get there from here."
and then got nowhere for a couple of years, and then my wicked colleague of the East beat me to it with a parody by the exact same title. (I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader what the "tune" is and what the parody title is.)
Recently an unrelated fragment of an alternate parody of the same "tune" has been going through my head:
Saying, "Stand down, you wounded knight, and do not try to pass.
I can tell by the way you're walking that they shot you in the ass."
