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
