Analysis of All About Nothing
Nothing to amplify...Nothing to recharge
Nothing to magnify...Nothing to enlarge
Nothing to engender...Nothing to announce
Nothing to surrender...Nothing to renounce
Nothing to prefigure...Nothing to predict
Nothing to configure...Nothing to depict
Nothing to emulate...Nothing to pretend
Nothing to simulate...Nothing to defend
Nothing to develop...Nothing to cajole
Nothing to envelop...Nothing to patrol
Nothing to analyze...Nothing to inspect
Nothing to scrutinize...Nothing to dissect
