72 Miles From The Sea

Regarding which country makes

Panama hats, I was seriously misled

It turns out they’re not Panamanian

And are made in Ecuador instead

I don’t believe in traditions

I have no time for them

And neither did my father

Or his father before him

My wife made me go car hunting with her

As we have a family she wanted a People Carrier

And the trip went okay until I upset her

When I said that every car was a people carrier

When you look at a Hippo

It obviously differs from a Zippo

As one is a really heavy blighter,

And the other is a little lighter

I approached the woman in the bookshop

“I want a book on Turtles” I told her

And she responded “Hardback?"

“Well obviously they’re hardback, duh”

If you are looking to offend ISIS

And you’re a woman, wear a short skirt

That would seem to do the trick

And if you’re a man, wear a short skirt

“This will separate the men from the boys”

Was stated in my youth repeatedly

However it what separates them today

Appears to be is Operation Yew Tree
