Plague Songs - The Second Wave (after Stevie Smith) / by Rich Hobbs

Not waving, but drowning;

Not saving, just frowning,

Misbehaving and downing

And raving, ungowning,

Enslaving, crackdowning,

And craving renown in

Waiving, letdowning;

Not braving, but browning;

Not slaving; just clowning.

Engraving breakdowning.

Microwaving.

Meltdowning.

Not waving.

But drowning.
