Cletus O'Toole - Horse Thief

Cletus O'Toole in a moment of greed

   'Borrowed' the judge's magnificent steed

      To steal a horse not his'n

         He spent six months in prison

            His name e'er stained for that dastardly deed!

Daniel Turner Date: 2/25/2020 1:54:00 PM I would say he's lucky he got prison time instead of a rope! Fun stuff, Bob. Login to Reply Robert L.
