moonbeams


by dog e relaford



herbert had a holler
jonah had a whale
they met behind the barn
to hatch a plot that could not fail

the sheriff got wind of it
and got on the case
he put on his stetson hat
and his game face

sheriff jack brown
you may have heard of him
his best gal had left him
and his future looked dim

he was born under a bad sign
and cursed from birth
here was his chance
to prove his true worth

the mayor rolled over
with his pllow under his head
they surrounded the farmhouse
but the rascals had fled

the picture gets fuzzy
as the world spins around
the sun came up
and found the sheriff on the ground

herbert had a dinosaur
jonah had a plan
they escaped to devils island
after sticking it to the man

the seagulls are flying
to meet the new day
mothers love moonbeams
and crime does not pay
