omar had a keyhole
he watched the world through it
he shook his head
and said i knew it
everything they told me
was a lie
in the misty moonlight
in the sweet bye and bye
there is no golden throne
with a wise king upon it
just an old wooden crate
with a dog sitting on it
the dog’ s name is joe
and the crate’s name is jack
when their names are called
they will never come back
the room is empty
and the sky is gray
adam looks in the window
but eve is away
abel bounces a ball
but cain has no bat
the wind comes down the mountain
and blows off pharoah’s hat
it is all very sad
and may work out some day
omar folds up his tent
and wanders away
