&

And, and, and
And yet more and
My life's freakin' ampersand

My day is planned
My scheme is grand
A metaphoric rubber band

Horizon scanned
I see the land
I know the gap that must be spanned

I'll take a stand
Above the strand
And run my feet along the sand

My face is tanned
My hair is fanned
I wish this feeling could be canned

This wonderland
Could be a brand
That in reviews is never panned

I understand
If things are banned
That our worldview must expand

I'll take a hand
Against the bland
with gentle guiding reprimand

And I'll demand
To take command
And join things with an ampersand
