Aww, that was so incredibly sweet of you, Doc—thank you for creating and performing this song! I love what you did with the lyrics. Indeed, my husband got inspired and started singing them as a punk song Dead Kennedys–style, so it works for that genre, too :-) I look forward to sharing this with my readers.
