Poem
Mr. Copperhead went to the copper mines to see what fortunes he could find Pick and shovel followed close behind On a burrow named Ole Bleu Mr. Copperhead was boon-town sick He struck so much ore Even pranced around like he was city slick Though Ole Bleu toted the pick and shovel And now the sacks of ore too With all the excitement Mr. Copperhead had forgot As he should not To give Good Ole Bleu the Lil Sugar that He had promised once they got back into town Instead he slithered into the nearest saloon Asked Saray Jane to play him a tune She was obliging to do so of course When out came Lil Sugar to sing a little tune Sweet as can be she looked round the room For Ole Bleu Who was no where's to see Upon finishing the chord Mr. Copperhead was trashed Said he would finish all that he'd started After taking a nap Well Ole Bleu didn't take to kindly to that In fact that Ole Burrow knew a trick or two of his own He made sure Ole Mr. Copperhead was asleep Then down to the minters he did creep Made a lot of cents or so they say Got gussied up for his Lil Sugar They drank carrot juice and ate bales of hay Mr. Copperhead awoke after three days to learn That Ole Bleu had made the mint and laid claims On the ore mines leaving him to hiss in a fit As he slithered out of town Thinking that if he had only given Ole Bleu the Sugar He had promised he'd still have his ore Mean while Ole Bleu and His lil Filly Sugar Were down at the livery getting ready to be hitched Seeing as now they were filthy rich As Mr. Copperhead slithered Down to a town called old dusty ditch Copyright Adell1 © 2006
