The explorers Lewis and Clark
Found their expedition a lark,
For Sacagawea,
Let both of them lay her -
That discovery they kept in the dark.
--- P8205

The adventurous Lewis and Clark
Conquered hardships from dawn until dark.
When they reached Yellowstone,
Opined in joyous tone,
"What a hell of a place for a park."
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0511Q

At seeing his discharge "I'll be a...
How do explorers get gonorrhea?"
Said Lewis to Clark,
"Twas the lark in the dark,
Not with Jack, but Sacajawea."
--- Richard Robertson P0301

Neither Lewis nor Clark did obsess
Over methods demanding finesse.
They struck out for the West
To do what they did best,
Without benefit of GPS.
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0310

The President sent them out west;
As explorers they seemed far the best.
But they hadn't a notion,
How far was the ocean.
They were just as befogged as the rest.
--- Conan the Librarian

Lewis the end of PENINSULA faced;
Connection to mainland was traced.
With Indian guide,
To the neck quickly hied,
Then he shouted, "Isthmus be the place!"

A gold prospector, Rembrandt Van Brost,
Didn't tolerate well, cold or frost.
While warming his ass,
He plunged down a crevasse,
And that's how "The Lost Dutchman" was lost.
--- Loren C Fitzhugh P9612

If you go back some 300 years,
French settlers, with very few fears,
Headed for the new world
With sails unfurled,
To the accompaniment of many cheers.
--- Anon

Not being one to gloat
I'll pass over the state of their boat,
But the sails were all torn
And the rigging so worn,
It's a wonder the thing stayed afloat.
--- Anon

Sure enough, after only a week,
The decrepit old hulk sprang a leak.
But with the help of an oar,
They paddled ashore
In a reed-strewn, muddy small creek.
--- Anon

Their leader composed then a song.
It was short - not at all long.
Of five little lines
Which did not all rhyme,
Not realizing they had gone wrong.
--- Anon

It was not a Virginian creek,
Not the country for which they did seek.
It was on Ireland's turf
They stood watching the surf,
And not as they thought, L'Amerique.
--- Anon

A horny explorer named Rust
Would kill just to see a bare bust;
He sought no new lands,
'Cross hot desert sands:
His problem was wandering lust.
--- Armand E Singer 706

An explorer named Mortimer Craft,
While in Africa ate spiced giraffe.
The effect of this food
Was a sound deep and rude,
And green flames that shot out fore and aft.

Cried, "This expedition's no fun.
It's forty below;
There's far too much snow.
Oh, I wish that I never had come."

A man called Norvington Cole
Made a trip to Scott's hut at the Pole.
But when he got there
The cupboard was bare,
So he starved to death - poor soul.
--- Spike Milligan P0110

My firm belief is, that Pizarro
Received education at Harrow -
This alone would suffice,
To account for his vice,
And his views superstitiously narrow.
--- Aldous Huxley P8208

An old man who lived on a mount,
Found Ponce de Leon's fabled fount.
As the weather was hot,
He drank more than he ought;
He's once again learning to count!
--- Jim Weaver Collection

Sought LUCENT youth fountain for own,
Left no untracked plain, unturned stone;
Maid's peignoir he rent;
Dissed signals she sent,
For he was Ponce gay Leon.
--- Elois

The truth of it started to seize us:
We knew that the blizzard would freeze us.
Captain Scott scrawled his notes.
It was too much for Oates;
Out of him, the thought scared the bejeezus.
--- Rory Ewins

No one knows - but the common report is
That the famous adventurer Cortez
Was seized by the Devil
In the postiens of Seville
In the late fifteen hundred and forties.

(postiens? - not in my unabridged)
--- Aldous Huxley P8208

Dressed up in his doublet and house,
Sir Francis Drake struck a brave pose.
But his pose was spoiled
'Cause his clothing was soiled;
Therefore, he was holding his nose.

Before Eric the Red got away
And long before Cristobal's day,
St. Brendan in green
With a load of potheen
Sailed a curragh as far as Cape May.

When to his side brave Stanley won,
"I won't get lost
Next time because
I'll ask three people, not just one."

An intrepid explorer named Phipps,
On the last of her wilderness trips,
Knew well her location
But died of starvation,
For she had not EPIRB, just a GPS.

(EPIRB - electronic position-indicating radio beacon)

He said, "Though my theory is freaky,
To show that the folks of Tahiti
Could have rafted on through
From the shores of Peru,
I'll do it myself, on Kon-tiki."

There is this about Ultima Thule:
It is not on the map in your school;
Some think it was Shetland
Or other small wet land;
I doubt I'll find out, or that you'll.
--- Limber Limericks

The notorious Vasco da Gama
Possessed a one-legged pajama,
Which was recently found
In a hole in the ground
In the center of North Alabama.

An old flyer with genital twitch
Paid a bimbo to relieve his itch.
As one tit slipped out
Of her black bra -- his shout!
"Wiley Post, you old son of a bitch!"

Three ships did proudly set sail,
To find new land without fail.
New land they did reach,
Stepped out on the beach
And played in the sand with their pails.

When Christopher Columbus left Spain,
Many thought that he was insane.
But he laid that to rest
When he sailed to the west,
And discovered the old Spanish Main.
--- Gifford Wherry

As he neared the West Indies shore line,
Chris Columbus cried, "This land is mine!"
When the native lookout
Was remiss to hang out,
A big flashing "NO VACANCY" sign.
--- William N Nesbit P0010

When Columbus one day ventured forth,
Lisping, thet a wethterly courthe!
He was hardly to know
That his voyage would show
The Americas, South and then North.

Colombus was wrong in his quest;
The Indies weren't off to the west.
Later visitors learnt
That the Indians weren't,
And that "Native American"'s best.
--- David Morin

In Fourteen Hundred Ninety-Two
Columbus set sail on the blue.
Some lived where he landed;
I'll never understand it;
They claimed it discovered anew.
--- Anon

In fourteen hundred and ninety two,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He climbed up the mast
And skinned his ass,
And shit all over the crew.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

Columbus, some say, was a heel,
A chauvinist, brimming with zeal.
Though an ocean he crossed,
The New World was not lost;
Still, he did bring the natives the wheel.
--- Arthur Deex P9311

Chris Columbus said "Earth's really round;
Sailing west, India's sure to be found;"
So they sailed; bells did chime;
But the world, at that time;
Was all flat, not what Chris did expound.
--- Anon

Then, a dike ringed the edge of the world;
C.C.'s fleet smashed right through, sails unfurled;
They fell in the abyss;
Sea poured out with a hiss;
The old Earth dried out; then up it curled!

The memories held by a sailor
Of fucking, grew steadily staler.
With years on the briny,
Without gals or wine, he
At last fell for Ahab the Whaler.

When I am in search of diversion,
I'll often buy any Mad version
With Alfred E Newman,
The big grinnin' human;
To read him, I never need urgin'.

Was Anna Karenina slain.

To keep clear of that line,
Or better still, travel by pane.

And he never once did feel ashamed.

For them both love endured.

In old Rome, it created a stir
Of excitement and a buzzing whir,
When out of a galley
A slave hero did sally
And he changed from Ben Him to Ben Her.

The soul of discretion is Jeeves;
So trusting young Bertie believes.
Quite deaf to the snapping
Of shutters and crapping
Of birds, by the way, in the eaves.

Cyrano, of the very large nose,
Was asked more than once I suppose,
If on his projection,
The birds with affection,
Roosted when the day starts to close.
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0208

Cyrano carried his flower,
To the very tip top of his tower.
At the height of her dizziness,
Stuck his nose in her business,
And deflowered her, all in an hour.

A Wild West guy everyone knew
Was Dangerous Dan McGrew,
But it's just come to light
That he cross-dressed at night,
And was really old two-dollar Lou.

To mess with your quim;
Less literate types call it screwin'."

Don Quixote, idealist man,
Attacked frontally, but sometimes ran.
Charging off at a canter,
He'd avoid "The Enchanter"
And tilt with Lady Windemere's Fan.

Raise sabres! Salute Don Quixote!
A hero most raunchy and goaty.
As his fleshy pink lance
Put the youth in a trance,
You see, he was high on peyote!

Our Elsie, a feminist now,
Provoked in the DOVECOTE, a row.
Her wages so high,
It made the bull cry,
And all their machismo did cow.
--- Elois

Elsie, famed for milk and butter,
Set her barn DOVECOTE a-flutter,
When seen on TV,
Despite pedigree,
With discreet pasties on her udder.

Elwood Dowd, a strange duck and effete,
Not one task did he ever complete.
As he drank to excess,
He live in a blurred mess,
With his whole life spent on Queasy Street.

I am not one of those chumps,
Who agrees with that theory of Gump's.
He says it's "chocklit"
And I say "a crock", it
Is just a box full of brown lumps.

Old Jonathan Swift wasn't bright;
He made pate from seabirds at night.
But ain't pate de foie
Made from goose livers, ja?
Not from Gull-liver's; isn't that right?

A water boy named Gunga Din,
Always wore not much more that his skin.
Such a costume lacked class,
But on meeting a lass,
He was able, at once, to plunge in.

A young Hindu maid from Tujunga
Said to her friend, "Cowabunga!
Rock music I hear
So deafens my ear,
That the Din I prefer would be Gunga.

From the Bureau was given release.

Obligingly fecked 'er,
After serving up brains for a feast.

Hans Brinker while taking a hike,
Spied a hole that made him shout, "Yike!"
The quick thinking boy
Made good to deploy
His finger right in the old dyke.
--- Donald McGill

Dutch dykes are upset and real pissed;
"We don't want Hans' finger!" they hissed.
"We'd rather he block
Our holes with his cock,
Or else with his big hairy fist!"
--- David Miller

Mr Miller, this dyke was not Sapphic;
Know you nothing of Holland's topographic?
The hole that Hans blocked
Should never be mocked.
Herr Brinker preserved the demographic.

The Hardy Boys, on an adventure,
Encountered a willing young wench. Her
Lust they aroused,
But they stuck to their vows,
To rely on each other for pleasure.

Discovered someone had a chipped denture.
The clues all led
To Nancy Drew's bed,
Where she ground down their dicks for good measure.

The Hardy Boys, on an adventure,
Needed to cash in a debenture.
You see, they were sued
For spying all nude
And for beating their meat without censure!

The Hardy Boys, on an adventure,
Returned to a fury of censure!
They'd bragged, you see,
About sex in a tree,
As one straightened his removable denture.

The captain himself was a goer,
He'd suck off the lads from the lower
Decks, in sex games,
Which earned him the name
Of Captain Horatio Hornblower.
