A mighty King once ruled the land-

But now he's baking pies.

A pauper, on the other hand,

Is ruling, strong and wise.

A tiger once in jungles raged-

But now he's in a zoo;

A lion, captive-born and caged,

Now roams the forest through.

A man once slapped a poor boy's pate

And made him weep and wail.

The boy became a magistrate

And put the man in jail.

A sunny day succeeds the night;

It's summer-then it snows!

Right oft goes wrong and wrong comes right,

As ev'ry wise man knows.

-L. Frank Baum
