LeRoy Dwight Was a Fright

he was indeed not very bright
mishandled quotes he did recite
got into a daily fight
misconstrued things, oh yes, quite!

he gave many a blatant sight
loose lips should have been more tight
he often had to change his flight
for he was jailed through the night

he was a shrimp of five-foot height
his face was furry, beard was white
this was my uncle LeRoy Dwight
He’d often give my aunt a fright

his fits in public were no delight
his pin-head-brain did not work right
he often bragged who he might smite
unhealthy ideas that he held tight
