Deficiency
So the story goes
so on and so on
blah blah blah
yada yada yada
glib gab glib
heard this one before
know it all too well
live it none too well
could you be quiet?
it is no longer a broken record
it is a skipping compact disc
no longer relevant
there is much on the line
size of the equator
multiple time zones
chiming on their every hour
time to get going
burning day light
thriving on night life
yeah, whatever...
