Simple Simon met a Skyman
All on a summer’s day,
Said the Skyman
To Simple Simon
“Will you be ballooning today?”
Said Simple Simon to the Skyman
“No, not for love nor the sweetest of honey
For of heights I’m afeard
By the hairs on my beard
Be it cloudy today or clearly sunny!”
Says the Skyman to Simple Simon:
“By the hair’s on your beard if it is that you’re afeard
Want to see how de do clean shaven?
Perhaps that’s how ballooning you be braven’.
We’ll put the honey in a jug
Give you a happy jig and a hug
Pour the love into a cup
I’ll be the one to take it up!”
Says Simple Simon to the Skyman:
“Why with my hairs all shorn
I’m as brave as a newly born!
Yes, let us up and away
With you I’d love to play,
I’m in splendid company
Oh, the sights that we’ll surely see!”
That then is how Simple Simon
Went so high up with the Skyman
All on a summery day,
And when they came back down
Love was running on the ground,
Simon’s beard it had grown back
Shiny, bristly, thick and black,
The potion it was gone
Poured into a Simple Song
Simon thanked the merry Skyman
And gave him pies then he skipped along.
Very well put together, I says!
