The Man In The Wilderness

[Verse:] The man in the wilderness asked of me "How many strawberries grow in the salt sea?" I answered him, as I thought good As many a ship as sails in the wood The man in the wilderness asked me why His hen could swim and his pig could fly I answered him as I thought best "They were both born in a cuckoo's nest." The man in the wilderness asked me to tell All the sands in the sea and I counted them well He said he with a grin, "And not one more?" I answered him, "Now you go make sure."
