“And the voyage began”

“Well, this is your first trip,” said Polynesia. “You will get used to the life after a while.” And she went back up the stairs of the ship, humming this song to herself,

I’ve seen the Black Sea and the Red Sea;

I rounded the Isle of Wight;

I discovered the Yellow River,

And the Orange too—by night.

Now Greenland drops behind again,

And I sail the ocean Blue.

I’m tired of all these colors, Jane,

So I’m coming back to you.
