Analysis of No Wonder
They seldom wonder
They never read
They're "under-blunder" and don't heed
They seldom fashion
They never style
They're "ashen-passion" and don't smile
They seldom assess
They never judge
They're "excess-access" and don't budge
They seldom query
They never think
They're "dreary-bleary" and don't blink
They seldom figure
They never know
They're "bigger-snigger" and don't glow
They seldom workout
They never train
They're "about-devout" and don't reign
They seldom worry
They never fret
They're "hurry-scurry" and don't whet
