One after the other

I'm impressed that the songs in Oklahoma! came into my mind one after the other, over several days.  I certainly didn't try to think of them.  They just appeared.  First was the dirge about Jud Fry is daid.  (It seems like a hopeless idea to explain how tender and affected people would feel if you were to hang yourself with this here rope.)  Then, "I cain't say "No".  I can assure you that if you teach 5th grade, you will overcome any difficulty in saying "No".  Last was "Many a new day will dawn".
