Write. Write. Write. Write. That's all I ever do

I think there is some sand in my shoe

I need to tell the Spartans' epic fight

Looks like I'm going to write through the night

The rulers of Lydia are in my work

Gyges to Candaules was a real big jerk

The singer Arion took a ride on a dolphin

Blarg. I'll be happy when I'm done coughin'

Tellus was the happiest person on earth

Adrastus reversed Atys's own birth

Croesus likes to test the oracles

I'll finish this book with a miracle

The oracles saw into the future

They didn't even have a computer

The oracles said: "if you dare attack

A mighty empire will never come back"

Pisistratus was a big bad tyrant

Sparta was the very young aspirant

Deioces rose o'er the rulers of Medes

Cyrus used the power it had received

Astyages tried to destroy Cyrus

Oh my how the time flies right on by us
