leonardo da vinci
had a master plan
he wrote words in the wind
and drew pictures in the sand
mary magdalen
lived in a house
she had a dog for a cat
and a cat for a mouse
nebuchadnezzar
kept his fireplace hot
he welcomed all wisdom
but banished all thought
old king cole
had a cow and a mule
he ate in the stables
and slept on a stool
pope innocent the second
stayed all day in bed
with a pipe he never smoked
and a book he never read
the queen of sheba
had mountains of gold
but the story of how she spent it
will never be told
good king richard
in the holy land fought
king john was a bad man
but richard was not
sinbad the sailor
had a thousand tales to tell
he sat in the market
with nothing to buy or sell
friar tuck and little john
sat in the trees
and watched the sheriff ride on by
with their hands on their knees
under the midnight sky
all things must pass
uncle bud drives his wagon
past the rabbit in the grass
very soon the vikings
will return - a mighty host
king arthur and sir galahad
will only be ghosts
listen to my words
and please excuse my rhyme
you will never get a nickel
only a lousy dime
