I

In

In Words of One Syllable

A Go and See
Why roads go round the bend;
Why crags rise high; some lands are dry;
And where the streams all wend.

I’ve seen the Alps and all of France;
The lands from Greece to Spain;
I’ve felt the breeze of full five seas;
And snow, and heat, and rain.

But when I find I’ve seen this world,
I’ll want to head for Mars
And when I’ve seen what’s there to see,
I’ll want to see the stars.

Then when I go (if go I must)
Ash to Ash, Dust to Dust,
My well worn friends may say of me,
Soon or late, we knew that she
Would have to go there, too,
And  SEE!

(How like Li)
