Norman is such a friendly guy,
He seems so eager when we appear.
He'll stretch his neck like a giraffe,
Starting to chuckle with Cory and I,
His feathers wagging in the rear;
Cory says his spirit's half-
Puppy how he reacts when he hears
His name: his eyes squinching with glee,
Tipping his head (on our behalf?)
Our hearts swoon with affection when sweet
Norm laughs.

Certainly something will have to change
Certainly something will have to change;
Nothing stays the same forever.
We always hope it's we who impress
Legacies on our fleeting range
Through being marvelous or clever,
But life is a convoluted mess.
What designs a successful endeavor
Is fluidity within bounds,
Walking a path that replies, Yes,
Wholly, that doesn't fix around
More, less.
