JL, that is absolutely HORRIBLE!@!!!!! ... needless to say, I've saved it.

The tune ... well, this is one of those where you almost have to not name
that tune till the end. ("Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech").

"Brition" in the last v. is a typo. And is there any reason for the "(h)" in
the title except to shoehorn the song sideways into the topic?
