Fie upon you music mic, That's exactly what I was going to say. Soooo, Here's a verse to the Wild West Show as Roger Sprung and I used to do at the Black Pearl Tavern back in the late 60's.

" Now I do admit, Ladies and Gentlemen, that seeing a Dolphin swimming around with a Maynah Bird on his back deserves an explanation. You see, the Dolphin belonged to a school that didn't like the way we were running things and had decided to take over the world. They found a Maynah bird, that could speak English as well as Dolphinese, to spy for them.
This Nefarious Maynah, on behalf of those immoral cetaceans, attached himself to a Professor of Mathmatics at the local university. One day as part of the Maynah's education, the professor took him to the local zoo. Now then, being a mathematician, the prof knew that the shortest distance between two points (pronounced, "Pernts") is a straight line, instead of walking around the cages, he, clutching the Maynah to his breast, hopped over the fence of the lions cage, ran across the lion's backs amd skipped over the other fence into the arms of a waiting policeman who arrested him for
CARRYING A MAYNAH ACROSS STATE LIONS FOR IMMORAL PORPOISES"

Oh we're off to see the wild west show, etc
