Analysis of Fiasco
It was a calamity,
a downright leery mess.
Although a great disaster
you never acquiesce.
It was a perplexity,
a downright bleary mess.
Although a great confusion
you never acquiesce.
It was a difficulty,
a downright weary mess.
Although a great obstacle
you never acquiesce.
It was a complexity,
a downright dreary mess.
Although a great dilemma
you never acquiesce.
It was a perversity,
a downright eery mess.
Although a great debacle
you never acquiesce.
It was an adversity,
a downright teary mess.
Although a great fiasco
you never acquiesce.
