Rubes by Leigh Rubin for September 22, 2016

It’s his ‘swan song’.

I thought the trumpeter swan was extinct, but Wiki tells me a large isolated population was found and was used to re-introduce them. But what about the accordion swan?

Maybe he’ll “dive” into the front row.

Unfortunately he had to deal with a young and ugly audience.

Looks like a farm goose to me.

It’s an old ditty by a guy named Stephen Foster, and the state song of Florida – “Old Folks at Home.” But most people know it as “Swanee River.”
