Kipling ~

from How the Rhino Got His Skin



Read Aloud

This Uninhabited Island

Is off Cape Gardafui.

By the Beaches of Socotra

And the Pink Arabian Sea:

Bit it's hot—too hot from Suez

For the likes of you and me
Ever to go
In a P. and O.
and call on the Cake-Parsee!




  • P. and O.:
    The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company
