James Fraser Poet Limerick

Three Men and a River

Three men went hiking one day
Arriving at a raging river in play
To each other "hey boss
How the hell do we cross
Get on your knees, we have to pray"

So the first one gets down on his knees
"Please lord, help me to cross it please"
Giving him strong arms, strong legs
Never let it be said
Nearly drowning, he now crosses in freeze 

So the second who now stands on the bank
Trying to cross, he now throws a blank
To his lord he now asks
"A canoe for my task"
Nearly capsizing he crosses with thanks

So the third asks for intelligence
For his lord to make him see sense
Into a woman he's turned
Read the map she's now learned
Up river, there's a bridge there thence
