and tugged his beard in thought.

and help me out my door

that terrorized our town!
Come shake the hand of the daring man
who put that doggy down!

down there to the station.
When night is through, I promise you
a full emancipation.
“Too late,” I growled and licked my chops.
“The moon is coming up,
it’s soaring high. The time is nigh
for me to take my sup!”
So despite my try, that night was I
a loping lupa dining
and not one word e’re more was heard
from Officer Knight McShining.
