THE GOLDEN GOOSE<\/span><\/strong><\/font> <\/strong><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kodran merchants sally forth
\n To sell the goods they made on board
\n in ships designed for life at sea
\n till they reach market with their hoard.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Whole families in inboard suites
\n grow and craft for those in need
\n wherever in the world they are.
\n the Kodran sell to those in need.<\/p>\n

Seas may be rough, they carry on:
\n produce the most desirable.
\n The freeest markets draw Kodran;
\n their business most reliable.<\/p>\n

Hailed they were both far and wide
\n by eager traders everywhere
\n until the day the seas were closed
\n when tyrants caught them unaware.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The dictators were jealous sorts.
\n They wanted profits of their own.
\n So Kodrans’ golden goose was killed,
\n and the new world did want, and moan.<\/font><\/p>\n
