Story 219
Overtaking The Penobscots
General Scott summoned every officer to plot a plan to capture the Penobscots.
“Because our horses are too tired . . . even to trot, he said, “we will sneak attach
in yachts, slowly at five knots.”
While the Indians were dining on beans, kumquat, and whatnot, Scott sailed out
and overtook the Penobscots, firing not a single shot.

Scotch
Scotty’s face always had a blotch
His clothes always had a splotch
And every job he ever had he’d botch
Therefore he never moved up a notch
Why?
