There was a shrewd carpenter from Zambia
dismayed to hear what was paid to IKEA.
He took apart his shelves,
said, "Make 'em yourselves!"
upped his rates, but threw in a hex key-a.
A contrarian tourist traveling through Livingstone
missed Victoria Falls when all was said & done.
He'd thought it a trifle
to see tower Eiffel,
and, when in Paris, he made an end-run.
There was a gambling man of Lusaka
who was always running low on Kwacha.
That's the money, you see,
and despite ardent pleas
when you're a gambler no one will spot 'cha.
