Last I heard there was a hemp shortage thus not enough available rope.

THE LAUGHING SONG

There once was a boy
Who lived all alone by the sea
He was a charmer
A charmer of highest degree

But the sea was lonely
And sometimes there was no one to charm
So this clever boy had a way to charm himself
He meant no harm

He'd dance and sing and laugh and smile
And after a while he'd roll right on the ground
He'd sing his song all day long
Had no words just this crazy sound

*Called the laughing song, all day long
Called the laughing song, all day long
Called the laughing song, all day long
He'd laugh, he'd laugh, he'd laugh

There were days when this boy was so wound up
He practically laughed his head off
Dancin' and singin' and gigglin' and wigglin'
He got so silly, he could hardly let off

One such day a ship came by
And to its surprise, heard the funny noise
Captain noticed the gigglin' swimmer
And with a loud cry, look at that boy

While in the middle of a backstroke
And boy noticed the ship, he laughed even more
And soon all the crew couldn't help themselves
They were rollin' on the floor

*Repeat

The boy heard the crew say
You're a secret charm
Come with us, you'll be a star
So off he went with the ship
Back to his native land which wasn't far
While rehearsin' his act

He made the grandiose mistake
Of livin' with his long lost uncle
Could you blame him for wonderin' about a nephew
Who just couldn't seem to love?

But his song went on and on and on
And that's about all he had to say
His uncle did not realize
The wrong they did when they had his put away.
