The Pottawattamie Beaver

In the sylvan sewers of Fritchy's tombie
    the Pottawattamie beavers play
  deep beneath the verdant pastures
    where dead skunks and possum lay

  Circling skyward glowing wierdly
    jackal-birds sharpen their nails
  those brainless fowl still don't get it
    Pottawattamie leave no trail  

  The point, my friends, is whoever writes
    such utter trash compounds our misery
  Would that he fire up his rotisserie 
    and fry the buzzards in sympathy

  Anon I hear supplicants, lost their compass again
    Pity that out-of-water, they won't get deap-sea bends
