Young Chuck and his old uncle Jake
Decided one day they would take
Their Cherokee Jeep,
(Brand new, and not cheap,)
And go fish on the big frozen lake.

They drove it right out on the ice,
Then hunted a useful device
To make an ice hole,
and thought, on the whole
That a dynamite stick would suffice.

With a match the fuse was alight,
So they threw it with all of their might.
Their dog thought, game on,
They've tossed me a bone,
And scampered away in full flight.


The dog being taught to retrieve,
Grabbed the stick and although told to leave,
Came back at full run,
Enjoying the fun,
The two men now started to grieve.

His shotgun was now grabbed by Chuck,
He fired, the poor dog was struck.
"Hey, this ain't much fun,"
Thinks the dog and now runs
Sore and bleeding right under the truck.

So at last young Chuck and old Jake
Have decided they made a mistake,
They can only swear,
Shake their fists in the air,
With the jeep on the bed of the lake.

Chuck claimed for his lost Cherokee,
But the insurance firm would not agree.
They showed him the clause,
Excluding the cause - 
Misuse of explosives, you see..
You may think this story absurd,
But I will stand by every word.
All of these claims,
Apart from the names,
I spotted in "Land Rover World."
