testament, part 1



by horace p sternwall

part one of two



adam had an apple
he gave it to eve
he told her a story
she did not believe

blackbeard the pirate
was quite a guy
he swam in the water
and looked at the sky

christopher columbus
sailed the ocean sea
he was a guy
just like you and me

delilah was a woman
with long curly hair
she danced in the circus
and won prizes at the fair

erwin schrodinger
had a cat and not a dog
he went for a walk
and got lost in the fog

fatima was a dancer
graceful as a fawn
she smiled at the sultan
and danced until dawn

george washington
cut down an apple tree
consumed with guilt
he ran off to sea

henry the eighth
was fond of steak and kidney pie
and drank a river of wine
that never ran dry

isaac newton
let the rain come in
he never drank whiskey
and he never drank gin

prester john
was a man of few words
he walked in the sand
and listened to the birds

the king of the world
has no home and no throne
he rides his mule
and throws his dog a bone


end of part 1
