As Oft As Never


The queen of the land was really quite grand

Or at least she would like to pretend

She asked about fashion, which isn’t my passion,

In hoping I’d complimend

“How oft do you notice my bonnet, be truthful and honest,

Don’t worry at all you’ll offend.”

“As oft as never”, I said to be clever

Then sat back in my saddle and grinned

But panic ensued and suffering renewed

Before I realized that I had sinned

For clever words said without reverence ahead

Take more than a needle to mend

Across the seas in an old clay jar A journey vast, a journey far A small seed hidden amongst the cargo From Portugal west, on past Key Largo...
