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!

Crikey Bob … I reckon Cletus was lucky he didn't swing for that. Cletus has so many hard luck stories doesn't he - thanks Bob - Lindsay

Thank you Lindsay. Best not to mess around with a judge's hoss - Cletus got off light in my judgement. Take good care, Mate - Bob

Thanks Tom. Ol' Cletus seems to live life under a dark cloud and goes around looking for trouble. Great to hear from you - Bob
