Wave Goodbye

Tears caused a tsunami
And nobody cared
Till the water came up
And nobody was spared.

The sorrow was felt
By one and by all,
As masks were put on
Tears continued to fall.

The waters rose up
Now hard to ignore-
So they built lakeside homes
And they partied till four.

Now living in boats
They forgot of dry land.
They pretended they chose it;
That indeed this was planned.

The sound of the crying
At first was white noise
So they turned up their music
And played with their toys.

When the tsunami came
I think they were relieved-
It was just too much work
To pretend not to grieve.
