The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - A Headless Horseman Limerick

There once was a fellow named Crane
With a fear of ghosts in his brain.
The man with no head
Filled him with dread
But was that poor Ichabod slain?

Turn tail, run, and take flight?

How that story goes
Was Crane out of mind, out of sight?

Then under the turf he will lie.
