Chuck,

It was Tom Waits who did Small Change [got rained on with his own 38]

Poisioning Pigeons in the Park was by Tom Lehrer.  He had many a standout
song including:
The MLF Lulaby
Be Prepared
The Wild West is Where I want to Be
The Vatican Rag

Both are out on CD, by the way.

Some of you may be old enough to remember the '60s TV show That Was the Week
Was.  (or was it the Year?)  Tom Lehrer did the theme song for it.
He gave up satire when Richard "the Trickster" Nixon got elected president,
claiming that nothing he could write could possibly be stranger than that.
Well, a few presidents later we have proof that no matter how wierd it gets,
it can still get wierder.
