The hair-pulling instigated brawl at a Mossyrock tavern and subsequent arrest of Donald Sampson for second-degree assault inspired Lewis County Sirens reader Rob to compose his comment in verse.
You can read the original news story here.
Rob’s version follows:
“The guy takes a swing at someone with a two-by-four and it ends up being his third strike? Sirens ought to get a poet to re-write “Casey at the Bat.”
With fingers poking eyeballs
In the midst of blood and gore
The patrons of the tavern
In a dogpile on the floor
He cocked his mighty lumber
And he gave a mighty shout
But there is no joy in Mossyrock tonight
The mighty Sampson has struck out.”
Bravo!
This is great.
