Raise the standard
#2
A very funny bit of satirical humor. A sort of ironically annoyed ballad.

I realize that there is no attempt here to actually raise the standard, but I really like this line on many levels beyond just "fun":

Where are the lepers a-leaping and dropping their
various bits on the floor?

Not too sure about "A-leaping" but it's a nice little bit, a metaphor that's not necessarily general, but could serve nicely for other purposes as well.
