I'll have to agree, Smitty -
Even Roosso's rendition of 'The Ballad of Festus Frothjaw', aka 'The Foamite Song', would have been better * - especially if you like mules, since - being a natural-born Jackass - Roosso is pretty good at imitating mules. Also cows and goats, and even chickens - all of which he learned to do while entertaining his long-suffering daughter, Jackelopette, while she was a young and impressionable whippersnapper. But SFAIK he never learned how to crow like a rooster or gobble like a turkey, and has to resort to using a large plastic horn when imitating oliphaunts.
