Limerick Joke Vii

Moses had a liking for tea And sipped it crossing the Red Sea How could the good taste Be maintained in such haste? He-brewed the leaves naturally Author's note: Based on a joke heard at one of the shops in the Old Town section of Scottsdale.

Whatever it was, it was not very good for the Egyptians!! So, do slave lords end up in bad shape for real? I think it's an allegory for breaking the bonds that keep us from our repressed destiny.
