Silly Boy Learns English


Silly Boy had always thought that the word commando

Had originated from the Afrikaans word kommando

Which referred to a temporary military unit

Used by the friendly Boers in South Africa

But he soon found that it had another meaning

As he looked up Caron Jane’s summer dress in a pet shop

She was totally oblivious to chaos she was causing

As she caressed her little floppy eared rabbit in the doorway
