Arabia
On a hill there laid a carpet
steeped in sow at the bottom
eagerly awaiting a foot to flap it
to the top my wish did dear em
encamp without start is a waste
the tramp the beggar to the rags and riches
for myself to question and ponder not in haste
sitting on the side of berries ditches
ask and ye shall receive one said to me
as I set about my journey up
what I ask is mealy to be free
without a penny in hand and cup
so off I sat upon the magic
so off I sat upon the ride
my learning was called Hellenic
who made the rules hides and confides
heavens bark and whispers
pulling me to richness and glory
swaying the thoughts promised delivers
reaching the top is a western story
