Another Jackalope Tail From Cody Wyoming

(NOTE: Grandad wrote several of these "Jackalope" themed pieces.)

I dug out my old trust rope

And caught myself a Jackalope

I didn’t know if he’d been rode

I thought perhaps I might get throwed

But he was gentle as could be

He didn’t even buck with me

He needs no gas, no oil, no lube

Not even oats, just rabbit food

He nibbles grass from dusk till dawn

And fertilizes my dumb lawn

And when with him I’m finally through

I’ll have myself some rabbit stew

Another Jackalope Tail From Cody Wyoming

I went out back to look around

And met this Jackalope pawing the ground

He growled so loud I thought I’d been had

So I climbed my shed ‘cause he surely was mad

I thought I’d stay there till he went away

He kept me up there for two nights and a day

He finally gave up and decided to go

And I fell in a heap right there in the snow

I was so cold I hardly could talk

It sure hurt my legs to get up and walk

Now when I go out I surely do hope

I won’t meet up with that mad Jackalope

Another Revoltin' Development: The Old Boy Lost Out Again

I’m feeling awfully sad today

Things sure went wrong for me

My tears are both so full of eyes

I just can’t hardly see

I thought I had it figured out

So she would fulfill my wishes

By doing windows, floors and laundry

And wish up all my dishes

I’d even let her pay the rent

The light bill and TV

I’d also let her cook some meals

And take good care of me

She was sure a neat old chick

But she messed up my plan

Instead of coming home with me

She ran off with the dumb milk man

I’ll stay away from all those widows

With them I shall not mingle

I don’t care if they’re rich or poor

I’ll go on being single

The Countdown is on One and Holding

I’m really doing OK now

I’m busy as a bee

I’m eliminating some of them each day

On some days two or three

I’m checking out each single one

To find how rich they are

I eliminate the poor ones, and

I’m doing fine so far

I’ve saved the richest one till last

I sure am having fun

The checking them is over now

I’ve got them down to one

The only one that is left now

Is sure a neat old chick

If I can bring her home with me

That will be a darn good trick
