Wendell Worley

Wild and wooly Wendell Worley             
Went camping in the cane breaks.
He woke at midnight dark, to find           
A raccoon feeding on his cornflakes.            
                                                 
Wild and wooly Wendell Worley,
At morning did awaken,
And found, to his profound chagrin,
A 'possum eating up his bacon.             
                                                    
Wild and wooly Wendell Worley,
Returning from a short stroll,
Was less than overjoyed to find          
A large snake sleeping in his bedroll.

Wild and wooly Wendell Worley
Then made a sound decision: 
Feeling poorly, Wendell Worley
Now camps before his television.
