𝐏𝐮𝐛  𝐒𝐮𝐛  𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬

An incontinent man with a second hand sub,

And a dwarf and a drongo, walked into a pub.

There three stools did they take, sat and breasted the bar,

And the man flashed the sub, said:”I’ve more in the car.”

Then the midget piped up:”I have new ones to sell!”

Said the drongo:”I’m sold! Wrap the old ones as well!”

Now the drongo we know is an Australian clown,

And the midget resembles a prune with a frown.

And then last but not least, the incontinent man

Having sold off some subs looks in vain for the can.

— D.N. O’Brien
