Words of the World of the Wise

Trip up to tango, tangerine town Bring out the bells with a bing-a bong bang! Skip a lot stop a lot step a lot now How now my beautiful, dizzy brown cow Speak up and sing out and make heard your word Climb up the walls, the falls, the high tower halls Don't flee it or fly it or fling it on walls It's here and it's rear and it's too big to steer Let it go let it flow let it say what's the know Move on and groove on and just keep going on But not too far, too long, too hard, too much, too...?

Internal rhyme rules! And the alliteration is delicious. I don't know if I like this poem because it includes the words "tango", "tangerine" or because of it's fantastic rhythm. The last line needs work, it takes away from the rest of the poem. Make it more confident. Lose the "...?"
