Spin Cycle

One day the world Started spinning fast round Becoming a blur Laying tall buildings down What wasn't nailed tight Flew off in the sky People were ducking With cows flying by The dog on the corner Barked his last bark With tail between legs He shot for the stars The cat that watched this Meowed with delight Until he lost all 9 lives in mid-flight All the empty cans Along with broken glass Paper, plastic And all other trash Stuff that never made it Out to the dump Went flying past fast In one big ugly chunk A rather strange scene If you know what I mean One minute it's here The next history Those left behind Held tight in the breeze Those that had time Glued themselves to their seats As fast as it came It slowed down the same All went back to normal The way things had been With less clutter around To get in the way I guess the world just needed A good cleaning that day...
