Listen in the reader

A man saw a ball of gold in the sky; He climbed for it, And eventually he achieved it-- It was clay.

Now this is the strange part: When the man went to the earth And looked again, Lo, there was the ball of gold. Now this is the strange part: It was a ball of gold. Aye, by the Heavens, it was a ball of gold.
