Down By the River

I went down to the riverside Catch myself some dinner I went down to the riverside Only caught a minner I met up with a fat raccoon I said,"Howdy doody." He said you're fishin' in my hole Coon was kinda moody I went on down around the bend Bumped into a possum He said,"Go try there in the shade, Fishin's mostly awesome." I threw my line and baited hook Landed on a gator He said,"I'll have you for my lunch!" I said,"See ya later!" Old Mr Owl watched from the tree Shook his head in sorrow Said,"Son,you're gettin' nowhere fast, You'll starve 'fore tomorrow." I went down to the riverside Bought some fried potatoes I ate 'em with a cheese burger Filled with ripe tomatoes If you're down by the riverside Listen not to critters They're only there to laugh at you Lots of hoots and twitters I went down to the riverside Catch myself some dinner I went down to the riverside Only caught a minner 4-27-18
