Story 252
The Lazy Bloke
The lazy bloke, before noon never awoke. The rest of the
day he drank case after case of coke, and blew rings of
cigarette smoke, so many so that anyone would nearly choke.
He said, "It isn't a joke! Work makes me want to croak,
paralyzing me as though by stroke. Never, I say, will I be
under anyone's yoke."
Thus it's no surprise that this lazy bloke, was nearly always
broke.
Story 253
Under the Oak
When the rain fell not one of the folk, had on a rain cloak.
Yet nobody croaked, 'cause nobody got soaked.
They stoked up a fire under an oak, where they sat happily
drinking coke, and munching on egg yolk and hearts of arti-choke.
Change: artichoke to arti-choke.
