If toilet seats can become folk art, then camp songs can be literature. What literary devices do you find in this popular camp song? Who is the protagonist, and what are his main characteristics? Who is the antagonist? What point is the author trying to make?
Late last night, when we were all in bed
Old Mother Leary left a lantern in the shed
And when the cow kicked it over, she winked her eye and said,
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"
(Bridge: Fire! Fire! Fire!)
Ok, what I think (I mean, what I feel) is that there is precious little character development here, but the cow clearly wins the personality contest.
