The Barn by Ralph Hagen for December 22, 2024

Stan is wishing he had a hammer.

That’s real spam.

that sheep’s hammier than Shatner!

I met Pete Seeger when he was singing in the backyard at a friends house.

♫♪

I’m Rory the lamb, I am

Rory the lamb, I am, I am

I love spamming all my friends next door

They’ve been spammed for ever and more

And every one’s been spammed

Not just a Karl or a Stan

I’m a spamming lamb, I’m Rory

Rory the lamb, I am

♪♫

Who’s up for a grilled Spam sandwich?

I LOVE when Rory dances

If I were a crammer, I’d study less often.

‘If I were a dammer…’ – not a Beaver quote

Excellent. Relevant and a great performance by Rory.

The result of anticipatious waiting (too long already!)?

Just in case someone isn’t familiar with those songs, ‘If I Had A Hammer’ was written in 1949 by Pete Seeger and Lee Hays in support of the Progressive movement. It was first recorded by the Weavers, a folk music quartet composed of Seeger, Hays, Ronnie Gilbert, and Fred Hellerman. It became a Billboard #10 hit for Peter, Paul and Mary in 1962 and then went to #3 when recorded by Trini Lopez in 1963.

“Second verse same as the first” was a lyric from the 1965 song ’I’m Henry VIII I Am’ by the British group Herman’s Hermits.

Rory should audition for Spamalot.

there is no lamb in Spam, sorry Rory

A little bit louder and a whole lot worse.

Ah, a la M*A*S*H — a spam lamb.

so he’s ’enery the eighth, he is, he is!
