THE HUMOURIST.
( SOU)
/« man who wields this humble pen ends many a night awake, - ing at the incidents ’ logged for humour’s sake. ■>: for a : start, the other night ~.n someone took a hat, And smeared lamp black around the band you’ve got to laugh at that* One of the lads a brainwave had, He’d shave off all his hair; It wasn’t long before we found That many heads were bare, With Jacko, Julie and battling Len As bald as a barber's oat, and Mitch, with bumps like a Mills Gre You’ve got to laugh at that.
And as we sat at tea one niglt • With-weapons, .fork and spoon, ■ — The table had a sudden lapse And took a downward swoon. The dinners fell into their laps, As gunners stretched out flat I- Shaking peaches from their pantsYou’ve got to laugh at that. Tent seventeen’s the rowdiest mob That the Lord placed on this earth; Their little trifling arguments Are constant source for mirth* . When Jock and Pis toff take one •ide, And Johnson holds his bat made The b***a argue from MHt till atebt You’ve got to laugh at that*
