On the raft down the Mississippi <br />were the wife and her husband Hippie. <br />When they brought back the melons <br />from the striped, shackled felons <br />they soon sank and the water was nippy. <br /> <br />But they had, for the voyage, prepared <br />and that is why both of them fared <br />rather well in the end <br />and this limerick was penned <br />so the story could truly be shared.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mississippi-limerick/
