- I´M JUST A HOP HEAD

I´m just a hop-head, and so I´ll be, till I´m dead.
I started hopping when first I hopped into bed.
I took up hop scotch, which had me hopping all day;
But that was kid stuff, and soon I put it away,
I took up fishing, and when the river was low,
I took to hopping from stone to stone, fish or no.
As I grow older, I took up sailing at sea;
Went island-hopping, a navigational spree.
I´m now a space-man; my flying saucer is fast.
Though slow in coming, I´m planet-hopping, at last.
I´ve reached my limit; no wider worlds to be won.
I´m so unhappy, I wish I´d never begun.
