Joli Kif Kif A Poem by Douglas Scotney
Joli Kif Kif A
I fantasised I bought
into a three-masted vessel,
'Joli Kif Kif' by name.
'Joli' was the longest mast,
the other two were much the same.
With little trouble and to avoid the same,
to the title we changed the name.
Americans laughed
and called it
'Joli Kif Kif Aft';
and, wait, there's more,
'Joli Kif Aft Ki Fore'.
