De-feat is not a river in Egypt

When the wind blows
she bends and sways
and with the rough waters
changes course
day by day

but this way and that
she dances round,
dizzy and frizzy
until the roughest of winds
blow her down

sink or swim baby
though you never
were taught

you'd think she'd drown
let her life be for ought.
