Jo Didn't Start the Fire

When one is lucky enough to see song parodist Randy Rainbow and an excellent adaptation of Little Women in the same weekend, one writes a song parody. 

Little Women

Sisters four

Concord, Mass

Civil War

Beth’s bit—

I’ll admit

I about sobbed

Scorched dress

Sold hair

Who asked you, Professor Bhaer?

Pickled limes

Trying times

Greta was robbed.

Jo didn’t start the fire.

It was Amy’s rages

that destroyed the pages.

Jo didn’t start the fire.

No, she didn’t light it.

She just tried to write it.
