One for the Pot

A poke (joke in the form of a poem) which related an encounter between a clown and a tribe of cannibals. Funny, but not to all tastes.

A Clown At Dinner

To entertain the natives sent
A clown once to a jungle went
Natives entertained were not
And put him in the cooking pot

The clown is now well cooked
And very appetizing looked
Chief cannibal now took a bite
To satisfy his appetite

He could not place the flavour
As the meal he tried to savor
It's not like antelope or bunny
Or does this clown taste funny?
