Lyrical protest
To the editor:
“Dear old golden rule days” doesn’t seem to describe today’s culture. But the song “School Days” is such a durable tune, I suggest the following new lyric:
“Sprawlmart, Sprawlmart,
Giant we-take-all-mart!
Payless is watching its profits drop,
So is each neighborhood mom-and-pop,
Blow on the bugle, bang the drum,
Minimum wages, here we come,
And we’re helpless beneath a giant thumb
For Sprawlmart is coming to town!”
