Clarence Day

Farewell, m y friends -- farewell and hail!

I'm off to seek the Holy Grail.

  I cannot tell you why.

Remember, please, when I am gone,

  'Twas Aspiration led me on.

Tiddlely-widdley tootle-oo,

All I want is to stay with you,

  But here I go.  Good-bye.

         -Clarence Day (Farewell, My Friends)
