Jimmy Hoffa Found At Last

Jimmy Hoffa Found at Last 

By Elton Camp

Though well-known by name and face
The union leader vanished without a trace

Reports claimed he was here, then there
Authorities have looked about everywhere

“If you will thoroughly look around,
Under the stadium he will be found.”

“Very soon after he was dead,
We buried him under a shed.”

“Even though it was a little rude,
We ground him up into dog food.”

Turns out his killers took a delight
In hiding Jimmy Hoffa in plain sight

In a museum his skeleton on display
But a deceptive phrase on it did say

“A Neanderthal Man is hanging here.
Please don’t touch or come too near.”

A cave man he resembled so much
For decades he easily passed as such
