translated from my original in VNese

Once up on a long long whence
we did meet a man
who told of his whereabouts:

his foot did touch the horizon of sadness
where his childhood wailed in despair
and his youth waned there
so did his more robust years
of twenty to thirty somethingish ...

(and did tell us this
our woeful somber man
as he undid his pants
and his undies thereof
and we undid his sobs
and then all was undone ...)
