Discombobulation

the sky is falling
the fall is crying
the cry is calling
the call is dying

the dye is casting
the cast is resting
the rest is lasting
the last is testing

the test is boring
the bore is lying
the lie is scoring
the score is tying

the tie is binding
the bind is grating
the grate is grinding
the grind is waiting

the wait is ending
the end is stopping

The spirit of your poem has a knack for expressing expediency of comming to the head of completion, Charles. I think that might be where our nation is heading. Thanks for your comment. Haaaaaa! Yep, a little thick! But, that seems to be the game. Agape, Moses
