The flotsam — yes,
Just accidentally got away from the ship.
The jetsam — yes,
Was tossed over and abandoned by the ship.
And the state of the Ship of State?
There’s a lot of flotsam and jetsam
Polluting the ever more turbulent seas.
Can the fragile, listing ship be righted?
Is there still time
To save the Ship of State and right it?
Or will it founder and sink
In the ever more turbulent seas?
