FOUNTAIN
Toshihiro Taya
Found a fountain around the mountain
Overflowing water sounded loud around
Unable to sound the profound fountain
Naiad jumped out of the water at a bound
Terrific girl’s appearance made my heart pound
And she tried to spring to me like a kitten
I was confounded down to the ground
Now the place of the fountain, I’ve forgotten
