Missing Money

Missing Money

by Rick Lime

There once were three men from Khartoum

And for thirty pounds they rent a room

So, they each put in ten

But we're not at the end

There's much more to this tale, let's resume

Now, the Inn keeper's erred in the rate

Tells his bellboy  five pounds to rebate

He gives one to each guest 

And then he keeps the rest

Well, this theft makes the landlord irate

Cuz some money is missing, although

Where it possibly went, he don't know

Each paid nine for their kip

Plus the two kept in tip

There's another pound yet, where'd it go?
