My glass duck doesn’t Chirp, Cluck or Quack
with a garden hose screwed in its crack. Water sprays from its bill with a whistle, quite shrill as it’s rotating forth and then back. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

rotten tater pulled forth then thrown back

I’ve not heard of hard tack being canned.
It’s supply far outstrips the demand which has waned from creation of good dehydration. It is food but the taste is quite bland. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

If that Hardtack is canned, I will see
whether it tastes much better to me but until I can taste my doubts won’t be erased. If it is then I guess I’d agree. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Daniel, this is only happening in the limerick panel. I sent a message to Lori about it but no reply or fix as of yet. The box is extremely wide so you need to put your curser at the bottom and run to the right.

When the stores in your state have moved out
you should find a replacement, no doubt, but there's no guarantee that you'll find something free so just shop there and cut out the pout! ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

in the stores that close doors to appease.

Pushing sex you're all pro libertines?

If you’re lunching on mixed salad greens
a new diet could be what that means. You just bought some new clothes that don’t fit. Heaven knows you would like to try out those tight jeans. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

wearing tight jeans it clearly now out

Quite about your disrobing would be
a surprise. I’d spout profanity! Learn to rise, dress and walk; I believe I would balk and then try “bottom-half nudity”! ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

bottom-half nudity 'neath a sheet

When your wheelchair retreats, is the floor
just as neat as it was once before? With that known, I’d suggest a bed-pan might be best. It’s an option which you may explore. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

and these days, there’s more than one can count.

end with "Amen" and chomp your croissant I must wonder if you after drinking your brew will regret you were so nonchalant. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
