Gender: Male 
Classification: Parody 
Rhyme: 

There was a man and his name was Tower
He went down town to join the Black Power,
There once was a man and his name was Bob,
He went down town to join the Mongrel Mob.
Along came Tower with his 303,
And he blew those boys right out of Beverley.

(Whakatane, 2000)
