Dogpaddling the Styx

Dogpaddling the Styx Dogpaddling cross the Styx To be with old Tom Mix But Charon was there Demanding he be paid So an uppercut a bit sorta laid back the twit the deal was made We reached the foreign shore Side stepping a Boar Caught old Topper for a ride But Cassidy said nuts (Hoppy) Don’t ride my horse So I had to give him back Twin pistols he did pack On another horse, Jack I rode for sure Wild cattle we were chasing Thundering and racing And sparks n fire came from Their flaming hooves We galloped cross the valleys Up n down streets n alleys Down footpaths terrifying derilects a sucking booze So back to Charons boat He said “whither go at” So we boarded for a free trip Going home Bit grumpy was old Charon He sidestepped up the Narran But changed his mind when I got the Christmas holdt (Goolies grippe) The nutcracker fair Got us flaming there On shore into the timber we did bolt an interesting trip on the grog we did sip stay away from hell the moral bit I know it Don Johnson …..16-may-11 Apologies to Hopalong Cassidy ?
