There’s a place where it’s always the daytime Where the sun never moves through the sky Though I’m sure there’s a logical reason Pray, permit me to not explain why So abundantly verdantly fruitful Is the flora that smothers the ground That the floor is a tangle of taproots And the soil can seldom be found
