>> *****************************************
>> The Bubba of Scuz
>> And the Bimbo of Loo
>> Were sharing a pizza
>> With nothing to do.
>> They sat and they talked
>> Although little was said.
>> So they dabbled in
>> Bumblefunumpus instead.
>> (Which cannot be explained
>> And is never polite
>> Whether done in the daylight
>> Or darkness of night.)
>>
>> But the Bubba of Scuz
>> Was a Loyalty Scout
>> Which meant that with Bimbos,
>> Funumping was out.
>> The Loyalty Scouts
>> (An unusual breed)
>> Thought that telling the truth
>> Was the best of good deeds.
>> If ever you slipped
>> Into trouble so deep
>> That you thought that a lie
>> Was the best way to keep
>> Your brains in your head
>> And your seat in your pants,
>> A Loyalty Scout would say,
>> "Don't take the chance!"
>>
>> A Splonger named Ken
>> Had been watching the glade
>> Where the Bubba and Bimbo
>> Funumped in the shade.
>> "At last" said the Splong
>> (A responsible guy),
>> "I now have what I need
>> To entice him to lie."
>>
>> The Bubba of Scuz
>> Was then pressured to tell
>> Of the things he had done
>> In the glade by the dell.
>> "Did you yert with palookas?
>> Or miff some goopats?
>> I heard that you fleegered
>> A blooper with gnats!"
>> "I have done no such thing"
>> Said the Bubba of Scuz
>> "Those things aren't the things
>> That a Scuz Bubba does."
>>
>> "But what about Bimbos?"
>> Inquired the Splong.
>> "Funumping with Bimbos
>> Is equally wrong!"
>> "I never funumped
>> With the Bimbo of Loo.
>> If you say that I did,
>> What you say isn't true."
>>
>> Except that it was,
>> Bringing Bubba up short
>> When the Splonger named Ken
>> Made his final report.
>>
>> So take this advice
>> When you're feeling ashamed.
>> Stick to the truth
>> Or you'll wind up defamed.
>> The Loyalty Scouts
>> Will muster you out.
>> Your good friends will wonder
>> What you are about.
>> And history's scribes,
>> Remembering you,
>> Will skip all the good
>> You endeavored to do.
>> Like the Bubba of Scuz
>> Who, till history's end,
>> Will be linked to his Bimbo
>> And the Splonger named Ken.
>>
