I Heard This Joke: Two Monks
Two men
walking
Two monks
talking
Both men
Buddhists
One man
hiding lust
They see
Maiden ... great beauty
Muddy lake
Body exposed would make
The older monk
Offers to carry
Gratefully thanked
By the Beauty
After more miles
Walking and talking
Younger monk smiles
Did you enjoy the carrying?
The older one declared:
"I put her down miles back
But now I feel almost despaired
That you still have her on your back!"
