    The one, the only, the original Boss Hogg!! hide show

    Sorrell Booke is clearly missed by Duke fans like myself.
    He was the one who put the comic relief in the show.
    He and James Best as Sheriff Roscoe P Coltrane.
    Without them, the show would not be as good at all.
    Unlike Boss Hogg, Sorrell was an Ivy-League graduate.
    Mastering in five languages, including Japanese and Korean.
    Also he was more moral(rhymes with his name!)
    Not even Burt Reynolds holds a candle to him.
    The one, the only, the original Boss Hogg!!
