Analysis of Zero Can Go Wrong
Leap lightly with gentle glide
Nimbly bound along
Skip slickly with steady slide
Croon a happy song
Twist tightly with spiral troll
Spryly spin along
Whirl plainly with eager roll
Hit the medal gong
Swing briskly with reflex arc
Highly swoop along
Sway sweetly with even mark
Keep the spirit strong
Dash freely with fleeting feet
Quickly run along
Jog smartly with steady beat
Zero can go wrong
