A Step in the Bucket

           Lazy folks design better mousetraps
           Industrious folks bring them to market

             Money-hungry promoters hawk ‘em
             Insecure consumers gobble ‘em up

                America lurches on its way

                    Two steps sideways
                    A step in the bucket 

                     Trust turns to dust
