Die Mense of South Africa

The River Dance, the Present Man and the Chipper

Traveling Limericks

Photo taken by the author. Wonders never cease.

I — The River Dance

We danced, floated and soared
On glass below wakeboard
Until the light did fade
Bright banks surrender to shade
And we float back to be moored

II — The Present Man

It’s easy to get jealous
Of a particularly overzealous
Present-giving flood
To a three-year-old bub
Especially of the stuffed entellus

III — The Chipper

Look at that, what a shot!
A chip that would have Tiger besot
We erupted into cheers
And would have bought you some beers
But we were stuck in golf cart that would stop not
