When Goon lashed out at poor Buster,
With all the strength he could muster,
It made Fatty wince,
With all the strength he could muster,
It made Fatty wince,
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

Till he proved Goon was all bluff and bluster.
