'Help, help, ' said a man. 'I'm drowning.' <br />'Hang on, ' said a man from the shore. <br />'Help, help, ' said the man. 'I'm not clowning.' <br />'Yes, I know, I heard you before. <br />Be patient dear man who is drowning, <br />You, see I've got a disease. <br />I'm waiting for a Doctor J. Browning. <br />So do be patient please.' <br />'How long, ' said the man who was drowning. 'Will it take for the Doc to arrive? ' <br />'Not very long, ' said the man with the disease. 'Till then try staying alive.' <br />'Very well, ' said the man who was drowning. 'I'll try and stay afloat. <br />By reciting the poems of Browning <br />And other things he wrote.' <br />'Help, help, ' said the man with the disease, 'I suddenly feel quite ill.' <br />'Keep calm.' said the man who was drowning, ' Breathe deeply and lie quite still.' <br />'Oh dear, ' said the man with the awful disease. 'I think I'm going to die.' <br />'Farewell, ' said the man who was drowning. <br />Said the man with the disease, 'goodbye.' <br />So the man who was drowning, drownded <br />And the man with the disease past away. <br />But apart from that, <br />And a fire in my flat, <br />It's been a very nice day.<br /><br />Spike Milligan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-a-nice-day/
