A Long Time Ago

A long time ago I went on a journey,

Right to the corner

Of the Eastern Ocean.

The road there

Was long and winding,

And stormy waves

Barred my path.

What made me

Go this way?

Hunger drove me

Into the World.

I tried hard

To fill my belly,

And even a little

Seemed a lot.

But this was clearly

A bad bargain,

So I went home

And lived in idleness.
