(Yesterday morning, I wrote this before my much needed coffee. My apologies.)

Oompa loompa doompety doo
I’ve got some noxious Palestine goo...
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you’ll read Babylon Bee!

What do you get when you go all “PC”?
A job with the Feds and an IQ of three.
The schools kids are at, taught by dumb proggy rats,
All learn about sex from a tranny named “Pat”!

With purple hair and septum rings!

Oompa loompa doompety da
If you’re a lefty, above the law
You will live as Hunter does too
Or like the Goofy, Loopy “President Poo”!
Doompety do!

Not a bad idea for several. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was pretty good. Matilda was deeply problemmatic, but well told. BFG, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, James and the Giant Peach, and the Witches were terrible.

When you wrote of the tranny named Pat, I thought of Julia Sweeney’s “It’s Pat!” from SNL. Poor girl. She transitioned and nobody knew.

This is why you want printed books and not digital copies that can be altered at the publisher’s whim. They will soon refuse to print those awkward verses about sodomites, and other bits they find controversial.

Yet leftists have a fit if you want to watch a movie with the cursing and obscenity bleeped out. Artistic freedom you know.

Ha ha! I kinda pictured Pat as doing the Oompa Loompa dance to this version! 😜

I thought this was a very good commentary on the issue, especially the statement that “Nobody has the right to rewrite a book; write your own book, if you don’t like the words that somebody else has used”:
