THE WATER BASIN by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THERE WAS A KING AND HE HAD THREE DAUGHTERS
Last Line: "IF THE BASIN HAD BEEN STRONGER, / MY STORY WOULD'VE BEEN LONGER"
There was a King and he had three daughters,
And they all lived in a basin of water;
The basin bended,
My story's ended.
If the basin had been stronger
My story would have been longer.
