He raced as last hope and died as Rusty

“Last Hope” what a hound he was

until he broke his toe

then he wasn’t winning

he  was losing  dough

and so they paid one

Andrew Gough

to take the lad away

and destroy him  just get shot of him

which he did, on that day

he hacked the poor souls ears off

just imagine the pain alone

hacked them off

all the cartilage

and Rusty boy did groan

then used a bolt gun on him

and left him on a hill

bleeding, choking, dying

but he couldn’t even kill

the poor soul, on that Welsh Hill

in agony was he

blood dripping from his ears and head

this was dastardly

this a hellish caper

this a grotesque desire

Ten pounds it cost 

to do the job

a lousy attempt at best

I hope both parties to that contract

get a spell of rest

in HM Prison

with bloody huge great fine

and a period of hard labor

where the effing sun don’t shine
