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 http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/humour-6.php
