I was running away from home one day
Everybody was yelling and screaming with all there might
That I could not do nothing right
They were mad at me because I did things a different way so I did them the wrong way
I still got the job done on time what difference did it make how I did it I was done before the bell chimed
They just didn’t like the way I wash my clothes or the way I clean my room The way I eat the way I talked the way I swept the broom
It was time for me to go but I was only ten
I have my backpack full by the way my name is Ken
Down the street I walked got to the river It was getting cold and I begin to shiver
The wind picked up from the north bringing with it some snow It was getting worse and I had no place else to go
Then all of a sudden the tree snapped and I hit my head Down I went I thought I was going to be dead
My head was dizzy I close my eyes I thought for a second but everything looked strange I began to cry
There was no Road there was no tree where are the houses I didn’t see any animals no birds no dogs or cats not even a mouse
Then I saw a sign up ahead It has very strange writing on it but it read
No man's land don't exist But if you hear you on the list
Wait patiently someone will be with soon
Didn’t notice there was no sun in that sky but just the Moon
Now I’m only 10 can someone take me back home to the farm All the sudden there was a ringing yell as loud like a alarm
There was a flashlight I was blind All of a sudden there was a man there ask if I was fine
I said sir I just want to go home I didn't mean to run away I know son but it’s too late Your planet is gone that’s just how it is in fate
Fate is the land that don't exist Sometimes it’s called the land of the Mist
My name I have no name that’s my name
Now we’re going to go play a game
If you win But you won’t that would be a sin
If you win home I'll have to send you back Nobody wins I get to keep on track
Boy I am older than you so you have to listen to me and do as I say that's rules of this game you see
But sir I didn't say anything at all why can't I win then I don’t want to play this stupid game I don't care who you call
No I don't you can’t make me who Do You Think You Are My name is no name I thought we already got that far
You’re a strange I’m getting out of here Nowhere else to go on this big round sphere
Why is there no home to go back to then
Where are all the women and men
You keep changing the subject there nothing else to do but play the a game If you don’t to play then you will get then blame
that your planet is no more because you refuse to play and closed the door
Okay what is the game I have to play
That’s sad to say you not going to win though that’s what I say You still have not told me the name of the game i have to play You have to answer a riddle that can't be answered by you today
If you answer it correctly It won’t happen though I know it's not fair That's like trying to make a sailboat move with just your hot air
What happens if I lose since you think I'm not going to win if you lose then I win and I get to do what I want to do and that hit reset pin
I don’t know why you pick a 10 year-old boy
Do you think I’m some kind of toy
What is the riddle It has a front back and middle
It is older than man You find it on this land
Sometimes it can be in sand
It can be in my mind which you shall never find
What am I
That is all you have there is no more I’m getting out of here you’re crazy where is the door
Boy if you give up now you never going home so come back here play the game
Why was I chosen and not somebody else this is so lame
Okay I Got 5 minutes for my chance for fame And get this I get to go home and everything will be the same
I got it it’s an easy riddle what do you mean no one you can solve The answer is a story and I began to dissolve
I woke up I was in my bed I was not dead
Then my mom came in and bellowed time to get to work
I got up and went for breakfast which my mom made me eat with a fork
Mom asked how was my head When you got home I thought you were dead
Oh a gentleman brought you home last night said you got hit by a tree you were a sight
So he put you to bed and cleaned the wound on your head
Let me look at that bump I see on your head Boy You're lucky your not dead
This is a farm we got chores to do boy Your to old not to work your not no toy
Yes ma'am I get right on it I'd be glad feed those Hogs And chop those logs
My mom’s eyes open wide she fell backwards and almost had a fit I said mom you don’t know what you have until you don’t have it
then I went to feed the hogs chop these logs
