There Was A Man Of Double Deed
There was a man of double deed
Who sowed his garden full of seed.
When the seed began to grow
´Twas like a garden full of snow,
When the snow began to melt
´Twas like a ship without a belt,
When the ship began to sail
´Twas like a bird without a tail,
When the bird began to fly
´Twas like an eagle in the sky,
When the sky began to roar
´Twas like a lion at the door,
When the door began to crack
´Twas like a stick across my back,
When my back began to smart
´Twas like a penknife in my heart,
When my heart began to bleed
´Twas death and death and death indeed.
