Even if you survived childhood, things wouldn't get much better. Finding employment would still be high on your priority list to prevent starvation. But what would available? Another flick through Pauper's Weekly reveals all.
In my spare time I write parody songs, sketches and captions which I’ve decide to post here on my blog. You’ll be able to tell my eclectic comedy taste from some of the references and I freely admit my influences include Spike Milligan, Ronnie Barker, John Finnemore and Michael Bernstein (my Year 8 English teacher). The blog title is from Queen Victoria being famously misquoted as saying “We are not amused” so I’m using the correct quote, as mentioned in her diaries, of “I was very much amused"

Riding In A Whirlwind - !!!NEW!!!
(And now the trapped nerve in my neck has finally abated I can resume posting)
Following on the from the Katy Perry parody regarding Charles I, I had the idea for using another of her songs for the escapades of a young lass and her dog - only she's not Waking Up in Kansas
Waking Up In Vegas Riding in a whirlwind not by Katy Perry
Where on earth now am I?
The colours are all so bright
We need a way home
'Cause we’re not in Kansas any more
Don’t know which way to go
Let’s go ask that old scarecrow
He looks unhappy
‘Cause he’s not so bright, you see
We’ll head off to Oz
To ask the wizard for help
Won’t you come with me
Remember what Glinda said
Just keep on and follow the yellow brick road
That's what you get for riding in a whirlwind
Go on and kill the west witch with some water, now
That's what you get for riding in a whirlwind
Walking through some dark woods
Nothing that’s here is good,
Except this tin man,
Who desperately wants a heart
We’ll head off to Oz
To ask the wizard for help
Won’t you come with me
Remember what Glinda said
Just keep on and follow the yellow brick road
That's what you get for riding in a whirlwind
Go on and kill the west witch with some water, now
That's what you get for riding in a whirlwind
Here comes a lion now
Worst trouble we’ve ever seen
Turns out that he’s not so mean
He’s just a scaredy cat.
We’ll head off to Oz
To ask the wizard for help
Won’t you come with me
Remember what Glinda said
Remember what Glinda said
Remember what Glinda said
She said, she said, she said
Just keep on and follow the yellow brick road
That's what you get for riding in a whirlwind
Go on and kill the west witch with some water, now
That's what you get for riding in a whirlwind
That's what you get Toto, kill the west witch, kill, kill, kill the worst witch
Click both your heels now, girly
Click both your heels now, girly
