distant isles


by dog e relaford




adam had an apple
billy had a berry
christopher sailed the ocean blue
daniel was not very

eve had a dollar
frank had a tip
george took thejr money
henry took a trip

i never realized
the joke was on me
king richard had a lion’s heart
but the lion got free

mickey caught a moonbeam
but the might was still dark
omar sewed a sturdy tent
peter preached in the park

guinevere planted a garden
where the rabbits ran wild
solomon built a temple
and sailed to distant isles

unless the weather changes
victory is in the air
the wise men make escuses
as the princess combs her hair

young people nowadays
don’t know what it was like
when adam rode a camel
and billy rode a bike
