Tommy -
'I would like to recite for you now a little poem.'
Tommy stands behind a table that has a box of hats on it
Twas New Years Eve in Joe's bar a happy mob was there.
The bar was crowded lots of noise filled the air.
In the middle of all this gaiety the door banged open wide.
A torn and tattered
tramp
walked in. 'Happy New Year folks' he cried.
The crowd just looked at him and laughed some began to jeer.
When a
sailor
stood at the bar and said - 'Ship Ahoy mate and have a beer.'
'I thank you son,.' the
tramp
replied. 'But beer and me are through. I'll never touchadrop again but I'll split a bottle of rum with you.'
'Then up jumped a
banker
who happened to be there. 'Throw that tramp out,' he cried
'He contaminates the air.'
'Thems' harsh words,' the
sailor
said.
The
banker
says, 'So what!'
'Thems' shooting words,' a
cowboy
said. 'Are you aiming to be shot?'
Then up jumped a
soldier
who said, 'This ain't no time to fight.'
'You're right,' said the
sailor
And the
banker
said 'Well alright.'
Then up jumped a
woman
and stared at the tramp. 'My goodness it's Sam,' she
cried with fright and her face went white.
'Who's Sam?' A
fireman
said.
The
tramp
then pulled out a knife and said, 'I'm Sam and that painted woman is my
promised bride. Nuts don't make me laugh, the
tramp
replied. you cannot wed on
horse.'
'Why not?' said the
fireman.
The
tramp
replied, 'we never were divorced.'
'IT'S A LIE!!' the
woman
shouted
'IT'S THE TRUTH!!' the
tramp
yelled out.
