Long John was a hero A legend of his time He got away with murder As an unsuspected crime Long John was a showman He had earned amassed applause In his defense, speeches he made Earned money for his cause He said the deed, in jest was meant Didn't know what happened for a time But he'd always had this particular bent To follow it, was inclined Long John Ag toured far and near Was well met, with many groups He then gave expositions on how to avoid trial, by being loops and as his fame grew louder, it grew more boisterous the people crowded in, much prouder to see Long John, local priests impress This hero toured both far and near The crime now, can you guess He murdered all propriety Wearing hairy legs with sequined dress.

xangel, whtdve,suthern Thanks for siding with me on this. Just don't get shot in the rear on my account. Long John WAR it is! With Long John Deer and Toerag the competition's strong but they need to worry now that Kethry's come along The gauntlet is thrown the battle is won so cower in fear I'm best, under this sun. For post and riposte is my forte and if you laugh I will start a sortie It's all good so laugh while you may for Kethry is taking the crown from today.
