Winnie the Who?
By Katanga
13 June 2008

Not an original joke - it's an old 'Little Johnny' one which I've tried to relate in verse.

The joke itself was first told to me by Chris Goddard, author of the stunning short story 'The Melon Man', posted 24 March. Well worth a read - it won Pick of the Week!

Hope it tickles?

Ho!

Cheers!

Winnie the Who?


"What did you do at the weekend?"
The teacher said to Mary.
"Daddy bought a new broom-broom -
It's really fast and scary!"

"Now, Mary, do grow up, dear!
You're old enough, you are,
To know we don't say 'broom-broom' -
Your father bought a new car!"

"What did you do at the weekend?"
The teacher said to Peter.
"Mummy bought us a bow-wow -
He really couldn't be sweeter!"

"Now, Peter, do grow up, dear!
We don't say 'froggy' for 'frog' -
Be more adult and say after me,
'My mother bought us a dog!'"

Then the teacher turned to Johnny
And asked him the same question.
"I went out and bought a book,
Following your suggestion!"

The teacher was impressed by this,
"What was the title of it?"
Johnny, proud of his grown-up tongue,
Said "Why? Winnie the Shit!"

Worst thing is that I had my little cousin do that at home! I can't say that I wasn't half startled by that! 
 
That definately made me laugh, a priceless poem! The last stanza really did make the whole poem come alive :D
