The Practical Joker

The Practical Joker By Elton Camp Joe, by a paving contractor, was employed Practical jokes were what he most enjoyed When an extra pair of boots he spied Another of his inane tricks he tried With paving he covered the tops well And then with panic Joe began to yell “Somebody help!” is what he cried “It looks like a workman has died!” “His poor body I have just located. With paving he’s been suffocated!” The foreman ran from the construction shack At the horrible sight he was taken aback He suddenly said, “I don’t feel very well.” Clutching his chest, to his knees he fell This was the last practical joke Joe tried Due to his stupidity, the foreman died Proverbs 26: 18, 19 – “As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows and death, So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?”
