'Occupy' protesters mint their own coloring book
(AFP) – 1 hour ago

CHICAGO — Anti-Wall Street protesters have a new way to pass the time: an "Occupy" coloring book complete with songs and a visit from Robin Hood.

The "grown-up coloring book novel" was released last week by Really Big Coloring Books, a Missouri-based publisher that recently made headlines with a controversial coloring book about the September 11, 2001 attacks.

snip...
The original songs are perhaps the best part.

One titled "Humpty Grumpty" goes: "Investments, Investments, sat on a wall; Investments, Investments had a great fall. The Congress and Senate and President's men; Couldn't put Dollars and Sense together again."

Bell's favorite is "Sing a Song of Sixpence": Sing a song of sixpence; my pockets have gone dry. Nine & twenty A.P.R. why even try? The mortgage rate has opened, and I don't have a thing. Pitch a tent in the city park, my things I will bring."
