The piano's broken,
and the strings are coming loose.
The foundation isn't holding up the house,
so what's the use?
The dogs stop barking,
and the cats don't land on their feet.
The flash floods don't retreat.
Traffic lights take much longer to change,
but then speed up, switch quick, and stop again.
Construction stops, the sidewalks don’t warm up today.
Birds fall into the river,
and they swim, swim, swim, swim away.
