Sound Advice

If you should be plotting
To go off globe-trotting,
There’s two things you shouldn’t forget –
The land is as hard
As your mother’s back yard,
While the sea is exceedingly wet.

So,

If your mind has been muddled
By drink, or befuddled
By thoughts of the emperor’s daughter,
Don’t forget you can stand
On a nice piece of land
But the sea’s always full up with water.
