Made In Japan
Made in Japan
By Elton Camp
It was made in Japan and it’s on the way
And it’s coming ever closer day-by-day
It is not some fine car or a really great TV
But it’s a bunch of broken junk we’ll see
All kinds of debris the tsunami swept away
Will reach the U.S. west coast some day
Refrigerators, furniture, wood, even boats
Here is coming most anything that floats
Up to twenty million tons is the weight
Spotted 2,000 miles from Japan of late
But that’s minor and nobody will mind
Japan had 20,000 dead or couldn’t find
Hawaii much sooner the debris will reach
Some may wash up on its beautiful beach
