Muzak has declared bankruptcy.  –news item

        A Lift for a Lift

What goes up must surely come down,

Muzak acknowledges with a frown.

Fifty years it filled the air

Of each business elevatair

With a tamped-down mellow
sound

Seeping in once leaving the ground

So by the time you reached your floor

Sleep had slipped down to your core.

Soon the muzak will be stilled,

Many folks are bound to be thrilled.

Sappy rides will be a thing

Of the past–Give a shout,
give a ring!

Silence filling every lift,

Haters of noise will hug the gift.

Time to rejoice, a momentous matter–

Till replaced by cellphone chatter.
