#136 Jesse the Poodle

The tumbleweeds rolled

And the wind blew

Dust in the air

Thick as stew

When came to town

A character of renown

It was the Texas Ranger

Jesse the Poodle

His hair was white

And he was quite a sight

As he ambled into the saloon

Ordering a water

And some kibble in a dish

We knew he was serious

Although a touch delirious

From the heat

And the dust

Caked on his feet

As he drank his drink down

He looked all around

And sized us up

One by one

He could tell who was yeller

As his eyes lit on a feller

Who winced

And looked at the ground

Sitting back in his chair

He brushed back his hair

Polished his badge

With a cloth backed with bone

Then facing the crowd

He said quite loud,

“I’m here to keep order

I’ll stay as long as it takes

To clean up this one poodle town”

But of course
All we heard him say was,
"Woof"

He was Jesse

Jesse the poodle

With guns in his paws

He upheld the laws

And ran the bad guys

Clean out of town
