It wasn't until after I wrote this that I figured it an obvious
idea, and I should do a search. Sure enough, Qoheleth has a song of
the same name and theme in Xeno #126.
Title: Anvils Keep Falling On My Head
ttto: Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head (Hal David & Burt Bacharach)
Anvils keep falling on my head
And that's why I vow that blasted bird will soon be dead
I will surely win
Those Acme commodities will keep me from failing
So I just ordered me up some rocket boots
'Cause they'll let me corner him somewhere among the buttes
Thought I couldn't lose
But anvils keep falling on my head
I keep failing
But my next plan will work
The tunnel art will get him
And I'll let him
Go running full tilt into it so I can net him
Anvils keep falling on my head
But soon it will be that bird who'll have headaches instead
Vengeance will be mine cause
I will soon bind him in this rope and I'm hoping
He won't get free, 'cause I am smarter than he.

Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
guessing an author's opinions from his novels.

Well, it was 80 months, over six years, ago.

Snerk... Nice one even if someone else DID use the same idea. I like!
