long time


by horace p sternwall



george was a gorilla
harry was a horse
ivan had an inclination
that threw him off course

jesse had a jellybean
kenneth was a klown
lulu had a lollipop
that moses melted down

noah built an ark
omar wrote a poem
paul bunyan cut down trees
as fast as mother earth could grow’em

robin hood lived in the forest
salome danced in the breeze
when friar tuck saw her
he fell down on his knees

when king richard heard the news
he came back from the crusades
but he was swallowed by a whale
that is how the game is played

p t barnum bought the whale
and put it up for show
and only charged a lousy dime
a long time ago

a long time ago, my friend
a long time ago
let us sti by the fire
and watch the river flow
