medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

> PS: Some USAmericans will also remember with pleasure the cartoonist
> Walt Kelly's burlesque in "Pogo" of the Christmas carol "Good King
> Wenceslas".

Kelly never did fill out the whole of "Good King Sauerkraut, look(ed) out, on his
feets uneven, while the snoo/snew lay round about, all kerchew achievin'" -- and I
note some internet discussion of exactly how those words went (everyone seems to
know "Deck us all with Boston Charlie," of course).

But how many also know the Bultmann parody by Mascal to the same rhythms?
Google turned it up at
http://www.burgy.50megs.com/mascal.htm (second item there).
