Drimericks – Man in a Tank

It’s time for another Drali Limerick (Drimerick)! Here’s one about a rather foolish tank owner. As always, it is accompanied by a DraliDoodleTM, professionally drawn by the DraliDoodleTM team.

 

There once was a soldier named Frank
Who wished to sail off in his tank
The beach was quite sandy
Which turned out quite handy
But on reaching the water he sank.

Man In Tank

    Not the tank I was thinking when I saw the title, but still very good ๐Ÿ˜€

    The army really needs to do something about their tanks. What use is a tank that won’t float for goodness sake ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Ali, Another hilarious post, and illustrated as well. ๐Ÿ˜€ It seems only 007 would be able to get hold of something like a tank that floats. The secret services might already have one that we don’t know about. Well done. ๐Ÿ™‚ —Susan

    Good one. He should have used one of the old duck boats. They float.

    Sure, they laugh at Frank now. But just wait until the enemy ship carelessly floats overhead and Frank blows a gaping hole in their bottom with the big gun on his new submarine! He’ll win the highest military honor….. posthumously, of course….

    I am thinking this soldiers name could well be Jeremy Clarkson. Would fit Top Gear as an adventure
