An' in keeping with th' spirit of the solstice....

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

Don't we know archaic barrel,
Lullaby Lilla boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!

Is there anybody out there willing to stand up - on this, of all days - and
raise a toast to the wilful destruction of our manufacturing industry and its
replacement by the financial services sector? Yes, there were unions who were
resistant to change, but whoever came up with the idea that the solution to
this problem was to import cars rather than make them ourselves sacrificed more
than just the entire engineering skills base. - Billy Bragg, in the Guardian, 7
