Most people put
The world ‘neath their foot
Without another thought.
But Plumlo would not
Let himself get caught
Not caring ’bout all that land lost.
Such a terrible cost
To be so sadly self-tossed
Out of the world at your feet.
A horrid defeat
To never once meet
Most of all that there is.
Young Plumlo saw his
Whole world as a quiz
On how to win his way in.
He dreamed of a cave in,
To go full mole-raven,
Winging his way through stone skies.
You’re not surprised
He pried into his prize
By way of his will and a spoon.
He still peeks at the moon
But he’d be a loon
To bury world back underfoot.
