PRIMITIVE MAN

 

A man had lived in a primitive land without a friend

Living with only himself upon who he could depend

Until an explorer found him, he’d spent his whole life

But now he had come to civilization looking for a wife

This was a strange world and of his home he yearned

He knew very little and there was a lot to be learned

With the help of the explorer his education now began

He'd never seen a train or the tracks on which they ran

He decided to explore his new surroundings one-day

And he found he was deeply fascinated by the railway 

He heard a whistle while standing on the train tracks

Not knowing what it was he thought it was safe to relax

But he was hit by a train as he foolishly stood his ground

Suffering a few broken bones and nothing more profound

He spent just a few weeks recovering in a hospital bed

Being tended by pretty nurses and being regularly fed

Making a full recovery he is discharge from the hospital

And he was then put up at the home of his explorer pal

One day he hears something that makes his hairs bristle

While he’s stood in the kitchen, he hears the kettle whistle

He grabbed a broomstick so he could attack the kettle

And proceeded to batter and bash it into a lump of metal

His friend hearing the commotion rushed into the room

He looked down and saw what he’d done with the broom

"Why did you ruin my kettle? I don’t understand at all” 

He replied, "You’ve got to kill them when they're small."
