AT THE PROMOTIONS BOARD


from the ABC set IN THE NAME OF WAR AND WARRIORS

A squadron leader is up for promotion
And a board is help in order to be fare
The S.Q. must answer three questions
To ascertain if he has the right flare
The chairman to put him at his ease
Directs him to be seated in a chair
"What do you call the gas we breathe"
The squadron leader answered "air"
"What is it that grows on your head"
The squadron leader answered "hair"
"What is the name for an animals den"
The squadron leader answered "lair"
"Well done now just one final test
But you can still fail so take care
We are looking for a short phrase
Which will open any door you care
Arrange your previous answers to
Make the phrase to get you there"
The squadron leader briefly thought
Then confidently said, "air hair lair"
