Poem
There once was a mule named Samson He was as strong as he could be He won all the strong mule contests In the entire state of Tennessee That old mule could pull anything He even pulled a house or two Now, this was quite unusual That's just not what strong mules do Now one day, a stranger came to town Paul Bunyan was his name With him was an ox named Babe Who challenged Samson to a game See, Babe had a reputation For being the strongest in the land So, if anybody could beat old Samson Babe thought he surely can Now, before they ever got started They had to lay down some rules Babe wanted to make sure it was fair And he'd heard about those sneaky mules They decided a tree was the test To see which one was stronger But old Samson was determined That Babe was champion no longer Babe would be the first to go As they tied him to the tree He pulled and pulled with all his might But still no victory Samson wasn't even watching As Babe admitted defeat He was thinking about his dinner How he just couldn't wait to eat Now Samson was a confident mule Like no other mule around And when they tied him to that tree It started tumbling down But before the contest was over Babe yelled out in protest "He didn't even pull at all And I gave it my very best" Now, something indeed was fishy For the tree was gnawed in two The judges talked to Samson And found out it was true For Samson had really cheated He just couldn't stand to lose A beaver was found behind a bush As the crowd awaited the news Samson had been disqualified Babe was declared the winner And in a show of sportsmanship He invited that ox to dinner
