Eventually, they end up poor and back to square one. - Bullwinkle's Corner - TaffyE8
Bullwinkle's Corner - TaffyBullwinkle recites the poem "Taffy." However, in the telling of the story, Boris (in the role of Taffy) begins to "bend and ad-lib" his parts. For example, instead of stealing "a piece of beef," Taffy steals a whole cow. Bullwinkle gets upset as the poem is changed, and he thinks that he's got Boris with the last line of the poem. ("I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed. I took a marrow bone and hit him on the head.") However, upon arriving, Boris takes the marrow bone and hits Bullwinkle in the head, giving the story an unhappy ending, much to Boris' delight. - Peabody's Improbable History - Richard the Lion-HeartedE14
