henry morton stanley 2

by nick nelson





henry morton stanley
was a sight to behold
his eyes were made of ivory
and his teeth were made of gold

he had a hundred gorillas
that he fed green grapes
and a castle full of concubines
of all sizes and shapes

he had a thousand footmen
to announce his every move
and to set off fireworks
when he got in his groove

they came in carriages
to acknowledge his high station
but when they drove away
he felt curiously little elation

they drank his whiskey
and they drank his wine
but at marrying their daughters
they drew the line
