I couldn’t guess the bicycle,<\/p>\n

I couldn’t guess the song,<\/p>\n

I couldn’t find the library,<\/p>\n

but I could ride along, along,<\/p>\n

and search for clues.<\/p>\n

I’ve got at least one, in the friend I have in you.<\/p>\n

We spiraled to the Pagoda,<\/p>\n

looked down and then climbed up.<\/p>\n

I almost popped the bike chain,<\/p>\n

I couldn’t guess the bookshelf<\/p>\n

And I searched every room<\/p>\n

It took at least five minutes to figure the last clue<\/p>\n

But that’s okay<\/p>\n

Because I’ve got one, in the friend I have in you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
