The Gander
The gander stops and smells the roses
He planned out five minutes for it
But when that window of time closes
Never more again will it fit
A nobody with a name
Unknown with wide-reaching fame
Though the shark ought never stop
He need not sprint
The gander flies north for the wint-er
And thinks about a goose
What-ifs are turned loose
The bubble will pop, pop, pop
From gun to tape his day is loaded
The gander scoffs at anything less
But one day when his head has exploded
Who'll be there to clean up the mess?
Scholar lifting not his head
Diligent until he's dead
Though the shark ought never stop
He need not sprint
The gander flies north for the wint-er
And thinks about a goose
What-ifs are turned loose
The bubble will pop, pop, pop
Contrary to popular belief
Geese navigate by following
Arrows painted on, well, chiefly
Barns and other outbuildings
But these farms are no longer standard
In the endless urban sprawl
So if you'd like to help the gander
Paint arrows on the minimalls
Though the shark ought never stop
He need not sprint
The gander flies north for the wint-er
And thinks about a goose
What-ifs are turned loose
The bubble will pop, pop, pop
Though the shark should take a break
He works all day
The gander will find leisure la-ter
He won't approach the goose
What-ifs are his noose
The bubble will pop
Pop
Pop
He planned out five minutes for it
But when that window of time closes
Never more again will it fit
A nobody with a name
Unknown with wide-reaching fame
Though the shark ought never stop
He need not sprint
The gander flies north for the wint-er
And thinks about a goose
What-ifs are turned loose
The bubble will pop, pop, pop
From gun to tape his day is loaded
The gander scoffs at anything less
But one day when his head has exploded
Who'll be there to clean up the mess?
Scholar lifting not his head
Diligent until he's dead
Though the shark ought never stop
He need not sprint
The gander flies north for the wint-er
And thinks about a goose
What-ifs are turned loose
The bubble will pop, pop, pop
Contrary to popular belief
Geese navigate by following
Arrows painted on, well, chiefly
Barns and other outbuildings
But these farms are no longer standard
In the endless urban sprawl
So if you'd like to help the gander
Paint arrows on the minimalls
Though the shark ought never stop
He need not sprint
The gander flies north for the wint-er
And thinks about a goose
What-ifs are turned loose
The bubble will pop, pop, pop
Though the shark should take a break
He works all day
The gander will find leisure la-ter
He won't approach the goose
What-ifs are his noose
The bubble will pop
Pop
Pop
