Marvels of the World I wrote.
Fantina, Bellela and Moretta will gloat.
These are my three daughters who kept me afloat.
They never did accompany me on travels or boat.
I saw the Mongol Empire and China too.
Recorded my exotic exploits and travels in 1292.
My books number over thirty-two.
So many to some, but so little to a few.
I was a trade, an explorer and writer in my day.
Christopher Columbus asked for advice along the way.
I met my true love Donata in the month of May.
What else could I tell you? What else could I say?
I traveled The Silk Road and met Kublai Khan.
He got an enormous kick about the road I was on.
Some of my original writings are totally gone
But some of the stuff is as brilliant as any sweet swan.
I only wrote about half of what in my travels I saw.
I traveled to China and Japan, and I was totally raw.
I drew some pictures, but I do not really cleverly draw.
One thing for sure, I stayed on my toes, and was always in awe!
Soccer is done and gone away,
The little children look forward
to the games everyday,
Bye, Bye, Soccer,
Bye, Bye Foreigners,
Bye, Bye to the noise makers
that try to scare 'em,
The joy and explosive enthusiasm
have subsided,
What will the children do to create
excitement?
Will they run in the street chasing
a ball?
Or will they go shopping in the mall?
If there is no mall,
What will they do?
Kick about an ole shoe?
Soccer is done and gone away,
The children pray for the celebrities
to come back everyday,
Now that soccer is long gone,
They will make up games to play,
Bye, bye soccer,
Hope you come again another day........
