GOING AWAY FOR CHRISTMAS?
7 WILL arise and go now To somewhere across the sea, And find me a tiny cabin Beneath a coconut tree, And live on fish and bananas, And wear clothes made of grass, And gaze with a cool, unenvious eye At all the ships that pass. I'll go to some lonely atoll And take a perpetual lease, Where there ain’t no Inland. Revenue And a man can get some peace. And if anyone sends me a tax return. I shall rendér it null and void, By describing my occupation
In the words-self-unemployed.
