Final Words

There was once a rotten scoundrel named Reid

   Who filched a horse in a moment of greed

      As the noose was secured

         His final words were heard

            I'd rather be fishin' today, indeed

As 'Animal Stories' sidekick 'Lil Tommy' would say back in the day ('70's and '80's) on WLS-AM Radio 890 out of Chicago: "Horse gonna be alright, Uncle Lar?' lol. ~ Giddyap, Gershon
