A raggedy house a comfy couch, a window made of glass
A calico cat a Frigidair, a lawn that's full of grass
A mantel place a chandelier on a 8 by 20 deck
A boss that lies, a kid that cries and then a weekly
Check

A minute a minute a minute a minute a second an hour
Are made of these
Life a life a life a life forever and ever are
Made of these

A pitiful cry an alibi a world that's gone awry
A dwindling brook a banished book a pray to the sky
A weakening stance a short romance a wealth of partial
Truth
Aspiring judge who fails to budge rejoices — skin of

Tooth

A fellow a fellow a fellow a fellow a fellow a fellow
Is made of these
A women a women a women a women a women a women
Is made of these

All our lives
All our lives

A capital gain a tired refrain — recalling sunken
Ships
Bringing to mind an invitation — reading loosened lips
A stumble a fall a basketball — a momentary laps
A magical man who think he can and mightn't he perhaps?

A leader a leader a leader a leader a leader a follower
Is made of these
A city a city a city a nation a nation
Is made of these
