"...demented saga greater than Beowulf..."

Local #1

Goober-Dork of the
demented saga
greater than Beowulf
or Star Trek or even
the Bibble, writ by
lying fishermen that
Hayzeus Christy formed
into a union, local #1
presented their grievances
to the Emperor's subaltern
Pontus Pilates who gave
Hayzeus three days to
disband the rabble or
face elocution, and he,
Pilates, was not, he
protruded, just whistlin'
Dixie.
