But then when the bogs get flooded for harvest, the wolf spiders have nowhere to go that's not water, so the people who are harvesting cranberries are like tall islands of refuge, so they swarm to the humans for safety, so the humans are covered in friendly happy relieved wolf spiders <3

There's a man in the hole and a spider on the man and a frog on the spider in the bog down in the valley-o!

Is this meant to be sung to the cadence of one of Tom Bombadil's songs? I dunno why that's just what felt right when I read it.

My father had this album on cassette growing up. I played it so much I wore out the tape. The unicorn song is straight fire.

It's a common type of children's song, where things are added to the lyrics each verse and the chorus gets longer and longer. You might know There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea, or a Worm in the Garden, or the AJR song Hole in the Bottom of my Brain.

I'm riffing on The Rattlin' Bog.

A sort of folksy children's song that builds to a silly degree with each verse.

It's also a drinking song!

I'd call that a rattlin' bog

Thanks for reminding me of that song

Yeah well peaches come from a can, and they were put there by a man.

In a giant bog? Or somewhere more industrial? Sayyyy some sort of commercial building or warehouse? I would also like to know where this place is, if you knew.

I think I know of what you speak. It's in the center of the metropolitan area, the middle of the city, down a ways from uptown you might say. Huge place. Some kind of manufacturing facility.

I'll take "A Factory Downtown" for the win, please!

Love driving past cranberry bogs being harvested! Seeing them flooded is cool.
