Warning: thread drift alert!

"Oh, halt!" cried Farmer Afwater, "For in his life I vow,
He never bit man nor beast, nor will he bite ye now;
And this shall be his epitaph, 'Here lies old faithful Ben
Who perished in the cider vat, only to rise again.'"

Rise again, rise again!
Let his name not be lost to the knowledge of men,
And those who loved him best,
And were with him to the end,
Will make old faithful Bandigo rise again!

Cheerily,
Charley Ignoble
