Uncle Mike's Last Ride by Magadalaena

It was the beginning of the end,
Of riding horses for Mike.
His accident has ended
adventures of the like.

On the road to recovery,
he is well on his way.
But how this thing happened
I think I should say.

Though he was happy that day,
It was not destined to be.
He came off of his horse,
To land on a tree.

Though his back may be broken,
And his kidneys are bleeding,
Watch out for my uncle,
Or help you'll be needing.

He'll be back with a vengeance,
Now that's what I say.
Sunny, be wary,
Lest he find you some day.
