Unbeatable prices,
Uncertain times.

Unwanted attention,
Un-x-rayed patient.
Unyielding bolt,
Un-zesty pizza,
For unproductive people, uninterested in undivided...

Screaming and begging, bargaining and crying
Let me take your place, don’t leave me behind...

About what to do,
About those who are blue,
When they should be putting on more than one shoe,
And going down the stairs two by two,
To see what is happening...
