For sake of health I took a walk last week at early dawn.
We chatted very freely as we jogged along the road.
"Your cart is racked and worn, friend; your ass is very old.
"I own my cart, it must be made of the very best of wood,
"I often do abuse the beast with this rough hazel rod,
We talked about our country's woes and how we were oppressed,
Just then I heard a female voice that I knew very well, Wolfgang |
