she’s not ready to mildew wither crumble decay   
decline dissolve wane fade away give up go under
droop go to pot she’s not ready not ready not ready
to rot she’s not ready to cease molder perish submit
throw in the towel standstill quit surrender halt
putrefy stop she’s not ready not ready not ready
to drop she’s ready to mingle unite rumble roar
roll in the aisles leap through the door lob fear
to the shallows toss death to the wind she’s ready
she’s ready she’s ready to live
