Analysis of Creating A Commotion
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Telling people who can't make a cake.
To get out of the kitchen.
Can create a commotion.
And,
Calling people imitating fakes.
Will burn a bridge overheated until it falls.
And...
Up and down a Rollercoaster goes.
But nobody knows,
Who sits take another ride.
And...
Why do people stay surprised by what is seen,
To see...
Over.
And over again.
Why do people stay surprised by what is seen,
To see.
Over.
And over again.
Telling people who can't make a cake.
To get out of the kitchen.
Can create a commotion.
And...
Calling people imitating fakes.
Will burn a bridge overheated until it falls.
And,
Up and down a Rollercoaster goes.
But nobody knows,
Who sits to take another ride.
And...
People act as if they are surprised to see,
What they've seen to see it seen over again!
And this commotion stays in motion,
Never to end.
Over again.
This commotion stays in motion.
Never to end.
This commotion stays in motion.
Never to end.
This commotion stays in motion!
