Sing a song of sixpence

We arrived early. There was background music playing, and I was mainly tuning it out while flipping through the program. A very catchy tune came on, and my ear caught the line, ‘I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas.’ Wow, I thought. ‘That’s a great song,’ I told Michael. ‘I love the tune. Have you ever heard it before?’ He gave me an odd look. ‘Yes, it was pretty popular a while back.’ ‘Wow! What a great line! I like that song!’ Further listening yielded the line, ‘Some of them like to abuse you…some of them like to be abused…’ Oops. So much for that song. I never would have guessed that a song about the Seven Seas could have been found so wanting.
