Wendy Grows Up
or
Ulysses Never Learned A Damn Thing

Ulysses was an old, old man
when he whispered in her ears,
"Oh, babe, I got to roam again.
I miss the sea, I miss the guys."
She didn't cry when he took off again;
Penelope was older, now, and wise.

She sent no prayers to old Neptune,
and I hear she burned the loom.
