I'm just a hop-head, and so I'll be till I'm dead. I started hopping when first I hopped into bed. I took up hop scotch, which had me hopping all day; But that was kid stuff, and soon I put it away. I took up fishing, and when the river was low, I took to hopping from stone to stone, fish or no. As I grew older I took up sailing at sea; Went island-hopping, a navigational spree. I'm now a space-man; my flying saucer is fast. Though slow in coming, I'm planet-hopping, at last. I've reached my limit; no wider worlds to be won. I'm so unhappy, I wish I'd never begun.
