Analysis of Suspend The Babel



Suspend the label
Let's collocate
Come to the table
Let's legislate

Suspend the cable
Let's circulate
Vote for the stable
Let's percolate

Suspend the sable
Let's vitiate
Count on the able
Let's imitate

Suspend the Babel
Let's integrate
Speak of the fable
Let's reinstate
