Old Mother Black 

To the tune of Wernher Von Braun by Tom Lehrer

Dedicated to Pippin

SIRIUS: 
Picture this while I sing you of Old Mother Black:
Quite long you must Google
Through both Bosch and Bruegel
To find a Munch-kin with a louder attack
"So, what did that pig meant?" screams Old Mother Black.

Don't call her ravings Draconian
Say rather she's Francis-Baconian
"If a Mudblood drops in, I'll make subtle wisecracks:
You boil in oils!" yells Old Mother Black.

She's had harsh words ever since I came back
She's rather more grislier
Than famed Mother Whistlier
Like the Saturn of Goya who on his sons snacked:
He's garnered approval from Old Mother Black.

Soon, I'll make a stick charm ban, though 
And my mum will away in a van go
"You'll find me on sale, `midst Dark Arts bric-a-brac
Here at Borgin & Burkes," cries Old Mother Black.

P.S. Since The Scream has been in the news again recently, I hope 
that my pun on "Munch-kin" wasn't too obscure. If it was, click here:

And the Francis Bacon I refer is the modern artist (1909-1992), not 
the Elizabethan philosopher
