COUNTRY JUSTICE

A man drove his car through the mountains,
Past trees, rocks and natural fountains,
When to his dismay,
Saw a man in a fray,
With a bear and was getting a poundin'.

A woman stood high on a rock,
Surveying below her the tussle.
He cried, 'Shoot the beast!'
She said, 'Hold your peace,
The bear may save me the trouble.'
