ONE FOR THE POT

 

Two missionaries are cooking in a pot

The natives are dancing round a lot

Every fifth circuit the dancers made

One man broke away from the parade

And with his club he hit a missionary

On the head which seems unnecessary

The chief is quite alarmed by all this

And demands to know what is amiss

“These men will be boiled and eaten

Why then do they need to be beaten”?

“Why do you keep hitting the edibles”?

“Because they’re eating the vegetables”
