Horrendous Hobyah Hordes Hijack Hamptonshire

The Scots, by God, They drove them out, With a single Yorkie At their heels a' yappin' The Hobyahs tried to fly Their arms they were a flappin' Some managed to take to sea And landed in Hamptonshire, Yes-serieee!!! But the British Navy would have none of this, Big battleships they did send The Hobyahs saw their doom, Their plans they did amend They sailed on to American, Landed at the New Jersey coast, The hobyahs could find no better host! They ate their way from Newark All the way up to Camden Avoiding kennels and dog warning signs There was always people on their roast Now, much of America Might applaud this you see, For most of Jersey's citizens Were as useless as a rubber tree Then the Jerseyites came up With a plan, They bribed the Hobyahs with 16 barges overfilled with McDonalds Quarter-Pounders with Cheese- With big sign saying- "This Way!!" "Free PeopleBurgers"!!!! And Infant Limb Fries!!!!" Now this was not within the Hobyah's realm of understanding, But it sure sounded good.... So on the barges they climbed, Till each and every one of these fiends Took to sea, gorging themselves On what they thought was fast human food Once out in the bay, the barges were sunk by remote control On shore, a Mexican Beach Police Patrolman was heard to ask Humphery Bogart, for his beachcomber permit... Humphrey barked back, "What?- Don't you see the history being made here? If you're the beach police, let's see your badges!!" The cop sneered, "Barges?....Barges?????.....We Don't Need No Sinking Barges!!!!" (See "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre") With the kind permission of Marnie Memis (Oh, I Love that name!)
