of the King of the Sea
whose fin was the fin of a whale.
Despite all his power, he longed to be free
and envied the ships with their sails.
Heave ho!
Seeking advice he came to me,
and explained to me in a wail:
"My life is so dreary and I am so weary
of meetings from which I can't bail!"
Heave ho!
I replied: "It seems to me
there is one plan that cannot fail.
Call back your brother and command him to be
king in default of heirs male.
Heave ho!
And that is the story of the King of the Sea
who gave up his power for a chance to be free.
As a common man, he was much more happythan he ever was as the King of the Sea.
