What's in a Name?
The sound of a steamboat whistle
Shampoo the cat
kneeling his lap
Woke O'Boyle from his sick bed
Sunshine bounced of his brothers bald head
-"Guess I'm not dead"
He said
-"Unless one of us is in the wrong place."
A weak smile crosses his face
"One of us is lessen you finally found a way to pay me rent"
Strop his brother did vent
- "I'm good for it" O'Boyle lied
Felt pain in side
"0nly thing you been good for is ruining our family name."
-"Not this blame game."
"I has to go by Strop!
Can't use own name above own shop."
"Every town I came to
Had wanted posters of you"
"Our name spread in Shame."
O'Boyle mocked pity
-"You missed an opportunity"
-"I was given our name free publicity."
Strop did cuss.
"Sweeney Todd has a more wholesome name than us!"
"Morning"
The sheriff greeted in the room entering
"Welcome back to the land off the living."
He pulled his pistol saying
"Just in time for your hanging."
