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...
