Twenty-Five Years Behind Bars

There was once a man named Barnaby Lars

     Who had spent twenty-five years behind bars

          Now it ain't what you might think

               He could concoct a great drink

                    At Clancy's Saloon smoking fine cigars

G'day Bob … working while others partied never really appealed to me Bob, but then again, being on the other side sees many behind the other bars to sober up - thanks again Bob - Lindsay
