All About Nothing

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Nothing to amplify...Nothing to recharge
Nothing to magnify...Nothing to enlarge

Nothing to engender...Nothing to announce
Nothing to surrender...Nothing to renounce

Nothing to prefigure...Nothing to predict
Nothing to configure...Nothing to depict

Nothing to emulate...Nothing to pretend
Nothing to simulate...Nothing to defend

Nothing to develop...Nothing to cajole
Nothing to envelop...Nothing to patrol

Nothing to analyze...Nothing to inspect
Nothing to scrutinize...Nothing to dissect
