actually it's a Grateful Dead song reference that I knew Mitch would catch.
I nicknamed My beast "Bertha"
heres the whole story...I wish I knew how to post the music.
BERTHA
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia
I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running, running
Lord, I wonder if you care
I had a run in
Run around and a run down
Run around the corner, corner
Lord ran smack into a tree
(Chorus)
I had to move
Really had to move
That's why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha don't you come around here any more
Dressed myself in green
Lord I went down unto the sea
Try to see what's going down
Try to read between the lines
I had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling
I turned round to see
Heard a voice a-calling
Lord you was coming after me
[chorus]
Ran into a rain-storm
Ducked into a bar door
It's all night pouring, pouring rain
Lord but not a drop on me
Test me, test me, test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me
Throw me in the jail house
Lord, until the sun go down

Just an old song that Deadheads relate to.
It's just a box of rain ....or a ribbon fer yer hair.
Look fer the bright side
