Little Johhny Joke 3
The third grade teacher was teaching her English class. She
repeated to her student, "Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece
was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb
was sure to go."
The teacher explained that this was an example of poetry, but
that it could be changed to prose by changing the last line
from, "the lamb was sure to go" to "the lamb went with her."
A few days later, the teacher asked for an example of poetry
or prose.
Little Johnny raised his hand and recited, "Mary had a little
pig, an ornery little runt. He stuck his nose in Mary's clothes,
and smelled her little..."
He stopped short and asked the teacher if she wanted poetry or
prose.
"Prose!" the teacher said weakly.
So Johnny continued, "asshole."
