The Songs of Martin H. Olsson, Probably Part 9: For Somewhat completer Completeness Sake
Anyway I imagine it's meant as a song. Or note. Old, Old scrabbling ...
Morning Tale
A morning wind
Richard Coggum woke up and he
Asked IT
"Morning wind,
where do you come from?"
And the wind answered
without magic
without mind
and mr. Coggums wasn't interested.
A morning wind blew
past a man in a tower,
a man who was already awake
with a big heavy hat on.
The man asked:
"Morning wind,
where do you come from?"
Again the wind answered
without mind and
without magic
without one kind of reason
with another
And the heavy-hatted man began to write
"The wind is coming from the East.
Hm, that's where Richard Coggums lives.
I wonder how he is."
A heavy-hatted man
woke Richard Coggum up
and Richard asked him:
"Bighat man,
where do you come from?"
And the bighat man did answer
with his mind and his magic:
"I am coming from my tower
just to ask you how you're feeling,
old chum."
And Richard could impossably have cared less.
And the hatman did return
to his tower that the morning wind had blown down.
He moved in with mr. Coggum
who was a very kind man
and who shot him
in the morning
three years later
by mistake.
Richard Coggum made his tombstone
in the Morning
very slowly
'cause he was a very lazy man
But he felt like it.
