Rudyard Kipling - The Crab That Played with the SeaRudyard Kipling - The Crab That Played with the Sea
Work rating:
Low
China-going P. & O.`s
Pass Pau Amma`s playground close,
And his Pusat Tasek lies
Near the track of most B.I.`s.
N.Y.K. and N.D.L.
Know Pau Amma`s home as well
As the Fisher of the Sea knows
"Bens," M.M.`s and Rubattinos.
But (and this is rather queer)
A.T.L.`s can qiot come here;
O. and O. and D.O.A.
Must go round another way.
Orient, Anchor, Bibby, Hall,
Never go that way at all.
U.C.S. would have a fit
If it found itself on it.
And if "Beavers" took their cargoes
To Penang instead of Lagos,
Or a fat Shaw-Savill bore
Passengers to Singapore,
Or a White Star were to try a
Little trip to Sourabaya,
Or a B.S.A. went on
Past Natal to Cheribon,
The the great Mr. Lloyds would come
Whith a wire and drag them home!
. . . . .
You will know what my riddle means
When you`ve eaten mangosteens.
