GREENLEAF AND BROWN: Part 2

Greenleaf and Brown
Were prison bound
On a cloudy fateful day
They had gone through a town
Without making a sound
Dreading their prison stay

Greenleaf told Brown
“When there’s no one around”
“We’ll make our great escape”
They both jumped down
From wagon to ground
Looking for a route to take

Greenleaf the clown
Tried to outrun Brown
Who was ahead by a nose
Greenleaf fell down
While Brown got out of town
That’s how the story goes

Greenleaf is in the big house
Blaming Brown, the dirty louse
Brown is still on the run
Doing time in the skookum house
With no friend but a field mouse
Is certainly no mans fun
