Why do you kick it so, young man,
If it has in no way harmed you?
Show respect as befits a king,
By right of age – later by right of Elders,
As by birth – into noble kin,
Of an underwater land, a deep ford.
By nature cheerful, occasionally comical,
At times, even philosophical,
Take it into your care, where no one can steal it;
What else could take the load off your heart?
