The King and the Ocean
By Fred Rogers


"I have a notion
to move to the ocean!"
Declared a king in his tower
After thinking for an hour.
He traveled for days around his land
But he couldn't find an ocean at hand.
Finally, the king returned to his tower.
He thought and thought for another hour.
Then he said so loud and clear
So all could hear,
"You know I'm fond of my pond.
I think I'll stay right here!"
