Too kind, too happy, too much fun
How can this be so?
And where’s this place called “Nowhere”,
That so many people go?

“Chillin’” don’t mean “getting’ cold”
Good is “bad”, and thin is “Phat”
And how can something that we do
Be known as “where it’s at”?

From its shell a goose is hatched
And joins the other geese
But Mom and Dad and Baby Moose
Still don’t make three meese

Friends will stab you in the back
While strangers call you “Dear”
And “I’ll be back in just a minute”
Is what she said last year

My first read this morning, and you nailed this one.  
This was quietly explosive.

It is sad I agree, but powerful.
