A ferryman on the Zambezi,
Was reputedly very sleazy,
For a mile he’d be known,
By his odious cologne,
It made avoiding him thankfully easy.
A taxidermist from Vienna,
Skewered prawns on her T.V. antenna,
It was part of a trap,
Which caught her the cat,
That’s a doorstop now in her cellar.
An avid collector of guns,
Said, “Firearms rule number one:
Don’t keep your Glock in,
Your jeans back pocket—
You’ll shoot yourself in the bum.”
A devoted student of Plato,
Devoured what appeared a potato,
Then said, “I just ate,
A mere shadow in a cave,
I now see that was a lump of play dough.”
A part-time doctor from Ghana,
Prescribed all his patients bananas,
On a related topic,
He made quite a profit,
From his side business as a fruit farmer.
