Abstract
Two satirical songs. The first mocks the judicial process at all levels, emphasizing the corruption, greed, and idiocy of the various parties involved, as well as the inefficiency of the court process itself. The second is a humorous song about a farmer who locks up his daughter every night to keep her away from young men, and the various hijinks that ensue when her lover figures out a way to sneak in.
