Analysis of jocund ditty
Climbing towards the bottom
and sinking to the top-
sleeping in 'til morning
having cut short a nap
The epitome of everything
yet always falling short
Can't real in the constant
when it proves of some import
Down with the majority
'cause they don't know the half
but going more than infinity
is probably worth a laugh
