THE UNFORTUNATE GONFF FROM BANFF

One time while in Banff
I encountered a gonff
Who stole all my money away.

And I said, “Thanks a bunch!
I can’t pay for my lunch -
O, leave me a sawbuck, I pray!”

He replied, “Ain’t you bold
To demand back your gold!
It conflicts with the Mendicant’s Way!”

Then I smashed in his head.
Satisfied he was dead,
I had but one more thing to say:

Criminals - thieves ’n’ such
Shouldn’t talk all that much.
Conversation with crime doesn’t pay!
