Brownie

Brownie

               Have a brown snake in me shed,
              Been a shooting at old Fred,
         Bullets bouncing all around,
           Snake a dodging , whizzing round,
                Shot me saddle Ned. :(

               Reloaded the old twenty two,
          Went to the thunderbox, fell through,   (toilet over mineshaft)
             Must be playing with half a deck,
                 Timbers caught me by the neck,
                      Is strangulation due?:(

                        Staggered out into the yard,
                     Tripped over a cane toad, called Marge,
                      Fell upon a snake so large,
                         So well bitten, I be dead :(
                             Not alive instead….
                                Buggering off with sickle Fred,
                                   Deadly, dead  dead  dead…
                                                 Diddly..
