Bank Robber Blues

A bank robber named Billy O'Dell
Ran from the crime scene but he fell
Down a gigantic manhole
Dropped everything he stole
And now sits with a sore head in a cell.

I was thinking of replying in style. But I am laughing, might take a while. So sad the robber named Billy. Falling down a manhole, so silly. Did he smell? I bet he stunk vile!........ Mick
