ever given gave us its magic and then it disappeared, just like toad the wet sprocket

 
A big broat got stuck in the Suez Canal

and for six days we coalesced

in our joy and delight

in a way so­ci­ety hasn’t seen in years.
 

No­body want­ed that broat to get un­stuck.

The mishap cost tens of bil­lions of dol­lars and none of us plebes re­al­ly cared.
 

Some­thing fun­ny had hap­pened to peo­ple who weren’t us (at least not im­me­di­ate­ly) and it took our minds off every­thing ter­ri­ble for a few days.
 

What if an­oth­er broat got stuck, like, tomorrow?

What if the *same* broat gets stuck again?
