I WENT TO VISIT THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH

When I was very young,
I wanted to do much more,
Then, work to raise a family,
So, I decided to explore,

I went to visit the four corners of the earth,
I thought I would find many wonders in distant lands,
But, the swamps, mountains and waters all look the same,
So do all the desert sands,

For many years I traveled,
Across dusty deserts and oceans of foam,
But, when sick and old I found myself,
Back at my childhood home,

I went to visit the four corners of the earth,
Those corners I never found,
For someone forgot to tell me,
That the earth is mostly round.
