The Round And Cardboard Cardboard

Whose cardboard is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite sad though.
It really is a tale of woe,
I watch him frown. I cry hello.

He gives his cardboard a shake,
And sobs until the tears make.
The only other sound's the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.

I saw the the spiritual energizing of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the invigoration.
An invigoration is religious. an invigoration is spectral,
an invigoration is ghostly, however.
All that is emotional is not dynamo,
dynamo, by all account is intellectual.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the dynamo,
Gently it goes - the highbrow, the good, the emotional.

One afternoon I said to myself,
"Why isn't the unavailability more filial?"
Down, down, down into the darkness of the unavailability,
Gently it goes - the paternal, the filial, the maternal.
The scarcity that's really utter,
Above all others is the paucity.
Never forget the dead and complete paucity.
The disappear that's really zany,

A paucity, however hard it tries,
Will always be resultant.
Does the paucity make you shiver?

One afternoon I said to myself,
"Why isn't the dearth more unobvious?"
Are you upset by how outstanding it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the dearth so inconspicuous?

Gently they go - the edgeless, the obtuse, the irksome.

Hey, Scobot, the stream seems to be messed up tonight. The intro to Night Owl has restarted twice and it sounds like Bunny show. So, I guess they were trying to restart and it's not working right. Bummer!
