  2. A Story about a Tramp

    Share Share Post
    A tramp was passing a village inn one day and on the sign post was written "The inn was called the Hive
    Its in this hive we're all alive
    And whiskey makes us funny
    And if you're dry stop in and
    truy the flavour of the honey
    The tramp replied,
    Well I am dry and dare not try
    The flower of the honey
    Because if I went in the bees would sting
    Because I have no money."
