This is certainly patchwork and some very intriguing and interesting imagery in my head with the various lyrical turns! Very nice playing/singing, bravo on the one take!

Love the lyric, quirky, fun very specific details of a very abstract main idea. It is perfect how this patchwork fits together to give way to those great internal and partial rhymes and the long lines delivered very quickly. Love the little slow down at the end. Great collab!

A quirky and delightful interpretation of the title prompt! Love the waterlogged verse ☺️

If it's got John Crossman chords, John Crossman melodicism, John Crossman vibrato, and John Crossman lyrical imagery, it's probably a John Crossman song. And this is a John Crossman song.

Great turns of phrase, this is the kind of tune you make feel effortless.

Oh man, a lot of talent in this collab. Goodness this is one of those songs that sounds like you’ve been playing it for years. It also is comfortable like a song that I’ve heard for years—but haven’t. Really excellent song!

Thanks for running with my idea, @johncrossman ! It's like a Shel Silverstein nursery rhyme, but for adults. The "fearing parallel parking" part couldn't help but make me smile, though it wasn't the only moment I did.

Yes! Had to listen to a collaboration between two of my favorite writers. This is is adorable and so fully realized. That last stanza is killer, and so many elements that come before are fantastic ("If the size of the whale is the size of a whale, how’s it get around?" "Only backing the van up/ To parallel park"), including the bits that put a lot of syllables into a small space.

What a whimsical concept and sweet, swinging musical rendition. I particularly like the delivery of the longer lines in triplets. Some excellent surprises and juxtapositions in the lyrics. Particularly like shark / parallel park, patchwork ambergris, and the Radiohead reference.

This is just an absolute delight. I love the melody and the concluding line!
