Stanley Dupp

Stanley Dupp
Had two holes in his cup.
Got himself wet
While trying to sup.

Cleaned himself off
With a dust covered cloth
Breathed in too much
And started to cough.

He quickly arose
Hit the bridge of his nose
Went forward in pain
And stubbed both big toes.

He turned around once
Let out some grunts
Hit his legs on a chair
Skinned both knees in the fronts.

He sat on the floor
Right next to the door
As his wife did return
From a trip to the store.

The door opened wide
Hit him square in the side
Threw him into the cupboard
And damaged his pride.

But then came the dilly
While going willy-nilly
He pulled over the iron
And knocked himself silly.

So if when you sup
You spill tea from your cup
Remember my friend and
Please don’t Stan Dupp.
