A Place Called Paradise?

What is - "Paradise" -

Who lives there -

Are they "scarce" -

Do they "verse" -

Do they know that this is "a fairy blue" -

And that once I - am coming - too -

Do they wear "new shoes" - in "Eden" - 

Is it always pleasant - there -

Won't they scold us - when we're homesick -

Or tell God - how cross we are -

You are sure there's such a person

As "a Father" - in the sky -

So if I get lost - there - ever -

Or do what the Netizen calls "die" -

I shan't walk the "Jasper" - barefoot -

Ransomed folks - won't laugh at me -

Maybe - "Eden" isn't so lonesome

As my purlieu used to be!
