henry morton stanley

by nick nelson





henry morton stanley
had a splendid black mustache
he dined at delmonico’s
and always paid cash

the roast duck on tuesday
was his favorite entree
he ordered oysters on the half shell
most other days

he strolled down broadway
with a gold headed cane
the peasants cheered him lustily
because he felt their pain

he traveled to africa
on a slow boat to spain
and found doctor livingstone
again and again
