governor herb tried
not to disturb
the fattest of cats
at
his big grip
‘n
grin, where all
of the tops and tootsie
role pops
spun with
the very best spin.
bad billy crabbe
tried hard not
to stab those
who don’t blab
at his
last smash
‘n
grab, where all
he could carry and
some he
might marry
were fair game if they
were
not fowl, like
old mr. hoots, the
wise-cracking owl.
