America’s youth don’t play ping-pong anymore

They watch TV,

Ride in cars,

Try to jump out.

Then they get sent away to avalanche white walls,

Pills,

Disgusting toothpaste,

and they take your shoelaces.

And if you’re really good you can go to the rec-room

where you can watch TV,

or talk

or think,

or don’t

there’s a ping-pong table you can play if you want

would have been easier to just play ping-pong in the first place.
