Maveric Prowles br Had Rumbling Bowles br That thundered in the night. br It shook the bedrooms all around br And gave the folks a fright. br The doctor called; br He was appalled br When through his stethoscope br He heard the sound of a baying hound, br And the acrid smell of smoke. br Was there a cure? br 'The higher the fewer' br The learned doctor said, br Then turned poor Maveric inside out br And stood him on his head. br 'Just as I though br You've been and caught br An Asiatic flu - br You musn't go near dogs I fear br Unless they come near you.' br Poor Maveric cried. br He went cross-eyed, br His legs went green and blue. br The doctor hit him with a club br And charged him one and two. br And so my friend br This is the end, br A warning to the few: br Stay clear of doctors to the end br Or they'll get rid of you.
