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?
