Can You Relate

My generator will not generate,
My regulator will not regulate,
My carburetor will not carburet,
So I guess I’ll just be……
	L	
		A
			T
				E!!!!

My oscillator will not oscillate,
The percolator will not percolate,
This incinerator will not incinerate,
There’s nothing to do but meditate!

I will no longer contemplate
About that which I hesitate
To even stop and give debate
	AIN’T LIFE GREAT!!!!!
