A SMACK FOR PLATO
By Roth R. Maier
Ok, Plato teas a jolly lad.
Be made up love Platonic.
Of all the many kinds of love
That is the most moronic.
I wonder why he did it—if
He had an ailment chronic
Or if his sense of humor was
Satiric and sardonic.
Now here am 1 and there are
you
With profile quite Byronic,
And don't you think it really is
A little bit ironic
That all we do is sit and talk
In accents diatonic
When—oops! I see you get the
point!
So much for love Platonic.
While wandering in a Flor
ida swamp, a hunter saw an
alligator snatch a small eciored
boy from the bank of a canal
Soon he came to a cabin with
a number of pickaninnies in
the yard. He addressed their
mother, saying, ‘‘I hate to tell
you but I just saw a ’gator get
one of your children over on the
canal.” The old lady turned
back in the door and said to her
husband, “Rastus, Ah done tol’
y’al sum pin wuz ketchin* our
kids.”
