Craps McGee

The Story of Craps McGee (in iambic pentameter.)

In times of fear we look to Craps McGee,

A man of great integrity and strength.

He crossed the Delaware in two short leaps.

He punched a cat and brought it back to life.

When Craps was eight years old he died three times.

He killed a flock of geese with his bare hands.

I’m serious. The geese are dead for real.

McGee then fathered twenty bouncing boys.

The boys grew up and formed a fam'ly band.

They toured the country far and wide and long

And deep and short and tall and here and there.

But Craps McGee did not like rock and roll.

He told the boys to stop and they said no.

McGee burned down their homes and smashed their cars.

You know there is no love like father’s love.
