Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia    A cultured man with rings    Within his ear-lobes    Locked the door    From which the sun arose    A man at noon    With shadows on his cheek bone    Singed for sleep    To use him as a pillow    His robes of chintz were melting    In the snows       The stars with eyes    Embedded in his footprints    Wept sweet words    From his remembered childhood    Poets of the skies    Look long and hard       Once upon the Seas of Abyssinia    A cultured man with rings    Within his ear-lobes    Locked the door    From which the sun arose       La, la, la, la, da, da, da, da, la, la, la, la....       (repeat til fade)
