There was a man on the ferry

who ordered seven hotdogs.

Then he got confused

and debated with himself

whether he really wanted eight.

He laughed it off

and blamed it on the wine he’d drunk

the night before.

Later on he came back

and ordered seven ice creams.

Yet again he got confused

and debated with himself

whether it was eight he really wanted.

He slapped his forehead

and blamed it on the wine he’d drunk

the night before.

He seemed a silly sort

if you ask me.
