…There are lots of versions of the Burl Ives song, but this one has resonance because it was animated and produced in the year of my birth, 1964 (by the National Film Board of Canada).

And I’ve been catching flies while cycling since the mid 70s. No horses swallowed yet

@urlyman @Dianora … about this poem: it's set to the music of a childrens' ditty:

🎼 There was an old woman
🎶 who swallowed a spider …

In case that helps. 😂

…There was an old country that shat on its work force.
It’s screwed, of course

Some of my earliest memories are of listening to a Pete Seeger tape of children's songs. So i couldnt help but hear this in his voice. And it seemed very fitting! 😎

@urlyman I didn't think anything could make me love Judy Collins more, but that did it.
