Zack Vol 6 Pages 5
As the Doc removed the scarf
that was 'round the Sheriff's neck
He did it with great care
That shown a sign if deep respect
The Sheriff was well liked
and through the years made many friends
So it was understandable
they were shocked to see his end
The Doctor then remarked
"There a bite mark on his throat
and it seems a small amount blood
stained the collar of his coat
"What do you make of that"? said Doc
While looking up at me
"Perhaps a bite from a bat,
I think Doc you'd agree"
"Well, that's some bat, a monster
I haven't seen,with my own eyes,
has anybody here,
seen a creature of that size
The town folk looking puzzled
Now mumbling in vain
was giving way to panic
as their latent courage waned
That's when the crowd dispersed
To the safety of their homes
Emptying the streets
Leaving me and Doc alone
Yes, I'm sure Doc heard the stories
But he hadn't realized
that the Sheriff must be buried
and tonight would be most wise
To be continued Friday WhooooooooooRaaaaaaaaa
