No News is Good News

You're no news.

That's old news.

Old gnus is good gnus...

er...wildebeasts

When cares attack, and life seems black
How sweet it is to pot a yak.
Or puncture hares and grizzly bears,
And others I could mention.
But on my animals "Who's Who"
No name stands higher than the Gnu.
And each new gnu that comes in view
Receives my prompt attention.

When Afric's sun is sinking low
And there's a silence that is deep and solemn,
That is the time when good men and true
With view haloo pursue the gnu
(The safest spot to put your shot
Is through the spinal column)
