Good job, Jo-Anne! Glad to see a little creative muscle out there working on this situation! I love it! I used to make up verses to the "What shall we do with the crying babies?" theme myself, all the time! There's a whole genre of songs called "hostile baby rocking songs", in which the mother continues to smile sweetly and rock the little darlings while singing such ditties as "Hush little baby, don't say a word, Mama's gonna throw you in the garbage can". Anyone else know the music of Rosalie Sorrels? "Oh this is the day we give babies away With a half a pound of tea; If you know any ladies who want any babies, Just send them around to me..." (Mandatory disclaimer here: no, I don't think "throwing babies in the garbage can" is funny or a good idea or anything else that could possibly be construed as politically acceptable! Just confessing some of deepest, darkest, private moments as young mother...and my kids only remember all the *good* singing!)
