Teamwork

When Manny, Moe and Jack
were trapped in Outer Whack,
they all said wow
then wondered how
the heck they would get back.

For Whack was full of bats,
and purple party hats.
And on the plain,
instead of rain,
the fall was dogs and cats.

So Manny had the means,
and wasn’t full of beans.
Within his mind
he knew he’d find
a way on back to Queens.

The ways belonged to Moe,
and they were his to know.
He stacked the ways
like serving trays,
and that seemed apropos.

Now opportunity
was Jack’s fine specialty.
As Jack applied it,
others eyed it,
and then they had all three.

When Manny, Moe and Jack
combined in reason’s tact,
they bid adieu
to Whack’s weird view,
and now all three are back.
