A Man With Much To Say

long ago
and far away
lived a man
with much to say
if you don't know
let me explain... 

he'd tell the time
so you're not late
and weather of
the coming rain
with calendar 
he'd say the day

he'd tell the girls
that they look nice
and all the boy's 
to watch their eyes
cross your "t's"
dot your "i's" 

he'd tell you where
things you could find
over there
and look behind
if you don't care
then nevermind

brought before
the king and queen 
who needed meaning 
to everything
the sky of blue
the sea of green

explained it all
with all his might
well into
the late of night
wisdom and knowledge
he did recite 

the king and queen 
were both impressed 
they made the man
an honored quest
much to much
to tell the rest

so long ago
suffice to say
far away
let me explain 
lived a man
with much to say...
