A codger, a geezer, a coot
An ornery, hitch-stepped galoot
The comic relief
who's airing a beef
then cocking his shotgun to shoot
Not many character actors could inspire an entire week of limericks,
but not many character actors are as memorable as Walter Brennan.

Who doesn't love old Walter Brennan?
Known most for his limpin' and grinnin'
This guy you'd call "Pops"
had great acting chops
Three Oscars he was busy winnin'
