Magoo

There’s no one else like Mister Magoo,

  he’s a dapper gent through and through.

Reading what he wants to see,

  walking in to a wall or tree.

The world is just a blur to him,

  still, he charges right on in.

Sometimes he’ll get into a tiff,

  sometimes he will fall off a cliff.

It’s good that he’s unflappable,

  that’s what makes him loveable.

With Waldo in his Muskrat coat,

  they’re up a creek without a boat.

When he’s driving his old car,

  he’s causing chaos near and far.

No matter what for heaven’s sakes,

  we have to laugh at his mistakes.

He’ll always wind up in the end,

  with some trouble he can’t transcend.

He is my hero through and through,

  no one can top Mister Magoo.

With all my shucks and what-the-hecks,

  I’m just like him without my specs!
