Who Gave Permission?

v1.1 January 08, 2023

Who gave permission

For a beagle to have a typewriter

For an orphan wizard

For eggs to be green?

Who approved of the idea

Tiger and a trolly

Pigeon and bus

Bear in a Studebaker?

Who said it was okay

To yell 1.21 Gigawatts

To sing Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

To give all the powers of a squirrel to a girl?

Who said don’t quit

When the transmogrifier was just a cardboard box

When the footfalls of the Stay Puft resounded

When the hyperdrive sputtered out?

So why am I waiting

For the angel Gabriel, 

Or some voice from my past

To say, permission granted?
