The Old Goat

A retired cop in Oak Valley Had an cantankerous old goat Given a chance he'd knock you down At least that was a common quote When we saw some goats at the fence We'd pet their soft fur every day Until the old goat hit the fence Then quite quickly we'd run away Then one day we missed the old goat Uncle Ben told us that it was dead He said it knocked the old cop down Then the cop shot it in the head! Now that I'm an old goat myself This is the lesson I've learned Whenever two old goats butt heads One of them is going to get burned!
