the wife and i
are delighted to advise
we got a letter
the other day
all the way
from Africa
it came over
on a plane
somewhere tropical
with lots of palm trees
and a village made of sticks
no it wasn't a king
he wasn't from Nigeria
we know about scans
and silly internet tricks
the wife and i
came into some money
which came as a
complete surprise
nine hundred dollars
and sixty three cents
but its not as though
we'd won a prize
now this is the part
i have tears in my eyes
you don't know
if i'm laughing or crying
turns out that the African kid
we were sponsoring
went and got eaten
by a lion
