There is Something Fishy
There is something fishy in water,
Besides waterbirds and fishes.
On the water, there is a land.
On the land, there is a mat.
On the mat, there is a throne.
On the throne, there is a king.
On the king, there is a crown.
On the crown, there is a wing.
On the wing, there is a sky.
On the sky, there is a comet.
Comet on the sky:
Sky on the wing:
Wing on the crown:
Crown on the king:
King on the throne:
Throne on the land:
Land on the water:
Fishes and waterbirds besides
Water in fishy something is there.
Bad Things Happen to Good People
Sometimes, it is hard to say
Sometimes, it is tough to pray
And shrill and shed and bray
And swim in pond of grey clay
For, we seem not to know why
Good people say quick goodbye
And bad folks refuse to quietly die
Until they drag down the sky
Sometimes, it goes against the brain
Sometimes, we seem quite insane
And vain and plain and wane
And lie in embers of driest rain
For, we still don’t fully understand
Why bad things on this very land
Often happen to the very good band.
