Fun With English - Dk

It's fun having fun with English, Children are smart, sometimes we're not; Enjoy this, call it what you wish, One of the wittiest I got, "How many kidneys do we have?" The teacher asked the bright young boy, "Four", replied he, (what a brainwave!) The teacher laughed, he did enjoy, The boy explained, "WE have got four, Two of mine and two of yours, Sir", Dumbstruck, the teacher laughed no more, This boy, when grown, caused quite a stir! He became a great humourist*, The school, I'm sure, was his first stage, He knew how to give a fun twist To the witty English language. 08.14.2021 *Famous Brazilian humourist - Apparicio Torelly Aporelly (1895-1971), better known as the "Barao de Itararé" (True story found in the Web)
