Madness in children's verse

Going on an agent hunt. Gunna catch a big one. I’m not afraid. What’s that ahead? Agent choice quagmire! Can’t go over it. Can’t go under it. Can’t go around it. Gotta slog through it! Squish, squish squish squish Going on an agent hunt. Gunna catch a big one. I’m not afraid. What’s that ahead? Decision tree! Can’t jump over it. Can’t climb under it. Can’t get around it.’ Gotta climb it. Reach, pull, reach pull, reach pull. Going on an agent hunt. Gunna catch a big one. I’m not afraid. What’s that ahead? Query letter! Can’t step over it. Can’t crawl under it. Can’t get around it. Gotta write it! Research, write schmooze, spell check. Going on an agent hunt. Gunna catch a big one. I’m not afraid. What’s that ahead? AN AGENT Oh crap! What do I do?!
