SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
Naughty Naturalists Nabbed in Night-Vision Nasty –– A couple at a lakeland holiday park were caught naked on cameras meant to monitor the movements of badgers. The pair ventured into the snowy woods at the Oasis Village, near Penrith in Cumbria. Their romp was beamed into every hotel bedroom on a special channel trained on the badger set. The night-vision camera caught the couple in the early hours of the morning. The woman kept her bobble hat on, reports the News of the World. The pair stopped when they heard a sound and quickly put their clothes on before being chased by a security guard with a torch. The identity of the couple has not been revealed.
In The Badger's Hole by derrymacash
(Also from "After The Break", "The Rambling Boys of Pleasure" lends itself very well to parodying in this thread)
You ramblin' boys of pleasure pay heed unto these words I write
I own I am a rover, in rambling I take great delight
I cast my eye on a pretty girl and I lose all sense of self-control
And so arose my sticky end, my last days I'll spend in the badger-hole
It was to the woods near Penrith Town, that my love and I our way did tread
The night bein' cold and the wind bein' keen, she kept her hat all on her head
And I was lost in some deep rapture, and didn't even notice yet
The tell-tale signs, the faults and tremors, around the mouth of the badger's sett
Well my final thrust, inspired by passion, was the straw that broke the camel's back
The earth gave way and I was falling into a chamber dark and black
Where ever since I've been imprisoned, a once-grand home that the badgers left
And my poor heart is forever breaking, forever more I am bereft
I wish I was in Penrith Town, and my true love to be in heat
We'd forsake the thought of the open-air, to my feather-bed we would retreat
And I would play a handsome medley, upon its springs of tempered steel
"The Blackberry Blossom", "Paddy Fahy's", "Junior Crehan's" and "The Dublin Reel"
