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."
