Question

Why in the world were a butcher, a baker, and a candle-stick maker all sailing to sea in a tub?

COME UP with a RIDICULOUS reason.

Read the poem below...

(1)

Rub-a-dub-dub,Three men in a tub, 

And who do you think they were? 

The butcher, the baker, 

The candlestick-maker, 

They all sailed out to sea, 

'Twas enough to make a man stare. 

(2)

Rub-a-dub-dub,Three men in a tub, 

And who do you think they be? 

The butcher, the baker, 

The candlestick-maker, 

All pull out to sea.

Answer 1

It was the zombie apocalypse. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker and the plumber were friends. Resources were slim and the plumber devised a plan for the group to sail the seas to get to an island currently uninhabited by zombies by using a tub. Unfortunately, the plumber didn't make it. He was caught by a zombie, pulled from the boat, away from his friends, just as the group was attempting to shove off to sea.
