Folk song parodies can happen anywhere!
For my Physician Assistant’s recent retirement after working 33 years here, I composed a folk song parody about his life and career. It was sung to the tune of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”.
“And meanwhile at work, our PA never did shirk
Nor give out a low bunk un-needed
It was rarely he’d stray from the true prison way
Or approve a paraplegic for boxing!

To their wants he’d not accede, but he’d always serve their need
Just like a true PA in prison really oughter!”

Tattooed on her rump
Beside an autographed port (autographed portrait)
