Manual system

Mary has a thingamajig clamped on her ears

And sits all day taking plugs out and sticking plugs in.

Flashes and flashes--voices and voices

calling for ears to put words in

Faces at the ends of wires asking for other faces

at the ends of other wires:

All day taking plugs out and sticking plugs in,

Mary has a thingamajig clamped on her ears.
