THE BALLAD OF DOCTOR DEACON SHERIFF MAC

 

 There once was a fellow named Mac

Who always would take up the slack

And his way to bless you

Is to come to the rescue

One thing you can count on is that

 

Being a doctor was his first calling

He’s the best when your arches are falling

When your knees are a’ creaking

You soon will be leaping

So, now there’s no reason for stalling

 

Then Dr. Mac became active at church

His soul he did thoroughly search

Now he’s a bright beacon

While serving as deacon

Lighting up darkness wherever it lurks

 

These days, he carries a star

His grades were way over par

He’ll fight off the cads

Be a hero to lads

The most versatile Sheriff by far!
