Ballad of something

The world in the first place 
    may say let do something:
     May be thus it will suggest
    a plan
    or find something hard like 
  iron or metal to forge
    and start forging 
    or think then say fire is good 
  to mould most especially 
    when intenser is the 
    smoke. 
 Or it's youth may start burying anything like seeds of corn 
   and beans and pear kennels 
   and a lot things more 
   and fair
   for they may say tis the 
   beggening of the deal. 
  Now,  what is even wrong 
   the world peaking in follies 
  and cracking jokes and riddles
    who said varla yonder green in brown or brown in green 
   for instance?.
