The Bela that we know was scary
Till forced by the vino to tarry
With clowns Bud and Lou,
Mother Riley (It's true!),
And finally fake Dino and Jerry.

Hat's off, Mr. Benson, for a stunner of a title.
Ray, Donald often contributes titles to the lims I write. He's good.
And welcome aboard the sinking ship LimerWreck.
