Motorbike

Motorbike I bought a little motorbike, on monkey spit it ran. But the monkey I got with it, took a week to fill a can. So out I went and got a chimpanzee, thinking a bigger ape more fitting. But it beat my little monkey up and wouldn’t do more spitting. How could I make my little bike go? I shot the monkeys as I thought. An answer in an instant! So guess what I have bought A camel with its bad habits could easy be my fuel. Now the motorbikes engine's all rebuilt, to run on desert creatures drool. So pleased I was I named the camel Stanley, he was sure to be a hit. But Stan turned out to be a flop, the hump back wouldn’t spit. So I’ve given up on motorbikes, I got myself a car. It used to run on petrol, but now does 40mpg, on earwax, coal and tar. Charlie Milne
