Little children delighted to hear how

the poor things called illusions 

were banished from the Country of the Real,

how one-dimensional Mr. Line

woke up in a two-dimensional world,

and how brave a young tune

slew cacophonous beasts

and won a melodious bride

in that strange country where

the landscape is all of sound

and all living things are music.
