Notes About The Poem

I heard this as a joke in my youth. I know it's corny but I had fun with it. Hope it makes you smile just a little.

Which Stretches Farther

Which Stretches Farther

Which stretches farther, skin or rubber?
Answer discovered by a Bubba
Helps with that ethnicity
To know of elasticity

Did his research with much care
Bred a donkey and a mare
Then tied his ass off to a post
And walked five miles so he could boast

Bubba thought that stretch quite far
Rubber would snap, fall to the tar
Had found the answer, which was skin
Don't agree? Read this again
