One Traveler and Many Paths

One Traveler and Many Paths (inspired by "A Frog He Would A-Wooing Go")

by Michael Espinoza



One traveler and many paths!
("Hey there!" says Nonny!)
And whether it's verbal or whether it's maths--
(With a nonny, nonny, crock of baloney,
"Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)

The path, it runs away from him!
("Hey there!" says Nonny!)
And whether it's light out or whether it's dim--
(With a nonny, nonny, crock of baloney,
"Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)

"Now, really, this is not polite!"
("Hey there!" says Nonny!)
And whether it's wicked or whether it's right--
(With a nonny, nonny, crock of baloney,
"Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)

"You didn't even say goodbye!"
("Hey there!" says Nonny!)
And whether it's truthful or whether it's lie--
(With a nonny, nonny, crock of baloney,
"Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)

"I can't take several paths at once!"
("Hey there!" says Nonny!)
And whether he's genius or whether he's dunce--
(With a nonny, nonny, crock of baloney,
"Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)

"My head's in pain, I'm just one man!"
("Hey there!" says Nonny!)
And whether he couldn't or whether he can--
(With a nonny, nonny, crock of baloney,
"Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)

"You once seemed right, but now you're wrong!"
("Hey there!" says Nonny!)
And whether it's shortened or whether it's long--
(With a nonny, nonny, crock of baloney,
"Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)

"I think I've found--but I'm not sure--"
("Hey there!" says Nonny!)
And whether it's over or whether there's more--
(With a nonny, nonny, crock of baloney,
"Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)

And whether you're human or whether you're elves,
If you want any more, you can write it yourselves!
("Hey there!" says Oliver Nonny!)
