The Great Galloping Geezer and the Gnu

The song is sung
On every hill.
It echoes among the
Enlightened still.
Go Geezer go!

He rides the Grand
And Golden Gnu,
Amazing, fast and
Nimble too.
Gallop Gnu gallop!

The gold crowned beast
With giant stride,
zipping, bobbing from
side to side.
Grand Gnu glide.

Hat of leather with
Floppy straps.
Geezer wears such
Natty hats!
Sly Geezer sly!

Ages spent learning
To ride.
Patience, practice,
puts soul in strife.
Grow Geezer grow.

He rode, he sweat and
put soul in strife.
Learning the Gnu
Improved his life.
Think Geezer think!

And now the two
enjoined, entwined
With wisdom bless
all human kind.
Beautiful Golden Gnu

If you see the Geezer
And the Gnu
Hug the Geezer and he’ll
Bless you!
Love others, forgive and go!

Do a random act of kindness today!

“Anyone can be a geezer it just takes practice”
