A Tragic Story |
There lived a sage in days of yore |
And he a handsome pigtail wore |
But wondered much and sorrowed more |
Because it hung behind him |
He mused upon this curious case |
And swore he’d change the pigtail’s place |
And have it hanging at his face |
Not dangling there behind him |
Say he, «The mystery I’ve found |
I’ll turn me round,» — he turned him round |
But still it hung behind him |
Then round and round, and out and in |
All day the puzzled sage did spin |
In vain — it mattered not a pin — |
The pigtail hung behind him |
And right and left and round about |
And up and down and in and out |
He turned; |
but still the pigtail stout |
Hung steadily behind him |
And though his efforts never slack |
And though he twist and twirl, and tack |
Alas! |
Still faithful to his back |
The pigtail hangs |
