VICARIOUS VERSE 1

A polar bear felt in need of a drink,
A habit, regrettably chronic,
So he hastened along to the nearest hotel
And said " Please give me a Gin..................and a tonic !"

"Why sure," said the barman, "But why the big pause ?"
Said the bear, "I wish I knew,
But it mightn't come as such a surprise,
But my Ma & my Pa had them too !"


VICARIOUS VERSE 11

Now Ben & and old Nick. both geriatric,
Lived in custodial care,
They'd quarrel all day, in a polite sort of way
This argumentative pair.

And Ben said to Nick, "Hang on a tick,
I guess you've read Marx, but who cares ?'
"It's true" said Nick, I'm red as a brick
And I blame it on these wicker chairs."


VICARIOUS VERSE 111

"Oh gallant Knight," the King opined,
Those wild races from the North,
Would have whisked away my darling wife,
If you had not come forth."

"Hail mighty King," the knight replied,
"I plight my troth, forthwith,
But in the race to save thy wife
I came not forth, but fifth."
