He wished only to escape, escape the harrowing blasts of a spouse gone mad,
and bent on skimming off the bit of joy he found in his pipe and his dog.
Husband and cur took off to the woods, beating a retreat as hasty as they come,
none too soon, so it seemed, as the harping magpie was bent on henpecking.
The cool and the dark of a welcoming wood embraced our Buster and Jack, and
bade them take a load off six feet and a spirit both battered and broken . . .

Jack and Buster ran for the woods
holding fast their treasured goods
On their heels the magpie flew
No one knew what she would do
Running with their hair on fire
Wishing that old bird would tire
Deep in the woods a secret spot
Where they hid to smoke some pot
