21st century folksongs: a snippet

[mountain_laurel]

well, match dot com's for losers
and matchmaker's a joke
the personals at nerve dot com
no fire and all smoke
but of all the wrongest places
that you might have looked for love
it's the personals on craigslist
that i'm here to tell you of

i envision this as an intro to a song involving the chorus:

yo ho yo ho yo ho
to a nunnery i'll go
cause it's too hard to find a decent man these days
yo ho yo ho yo ho
to a nunnery i'll go
but i'll probably be laughing all the way

or... uh... maybe not.

in other news, i've got a new verse for the ballad of sunnyvale:

i sold my comic book collection
an investment, i believed
but when they wrote me out the check
i saw that i had been deceived
they said 'round 1992
all the collectors got a clue
and there's a glut of comic books in sunnyvale
