I Made A Mistake by Charles Bukowski

I reached up into the top of the closet
and took out a pair of blue panties
and showed them to her and
asked "are these yours?"

Pilchard123:
A couple of Dick King-Smith's:

Now you know and I know
the African rhino
is truculent to a degree.

And I know (do you know?)
The rhino will do no
One harm if you leave the thing be.

They pulverise passers
Who treat them, alas, as
A suitable butt for a prank.

So do not incite one
Or offer to fight one,
Unless you are driving a tank.


The civets reside in the coconut palms
Where the locals hang jars to make toddy.
When the locals go home from their coconut farms,
then the civets come out in a body.

They imbibe as the sun sets over Malay,
They continue long after it's sunk.
And though some of the civets can pack it away,
Quite a lit of the covets get drunk.

pwhodges:
John has great big waterproof boots on;
John has a great big waterproof hat.
John has a great big waterproof mackintosh,
And that, says John, is that.

A A Milne

idontunderstand:
Guessing "mackintosh" means something different here?


(Imagines Christopher Robin as a floating hacker)

pwhodges:
Mackintosh is a raincoat, especially a rubberised one.

And John is six (it's from the children's poetry book Now we are Six)
