Repetition needs a reason
Needs a reason for repeating
For repeating without reason
Interferes with what you say
And the questions you are asking
Quite rhetorical or earnest
Quite profound or sophomoric
May have answers never known
So a differential slugfest
May be hiding 'round the corner
While you keep on sliding sideways
Till you flop into the mud
As we try to organize it
With prehensile comprehension
Of premarital postmortems
Watch us circle 'round the drain
Meaning full or meaning empty
Sepulchure or Sepulveda
Derriere or Derridada
Choral coral apple core
Think of will or think of won't you
But it must be done by Tuesday
At the latest Wednesday P.M.
So I think I'll stop it here
