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
in the ground; he would rather face lack than to bite that moist spud he'll just chew on his cud and then open a can of hard tack ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

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.

I once went to a mall with my date
to find rings, to propose; be my mate but there’s no place to go just like San Francisco; all the stores have now moved out of state. ······· ·······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!

I don’t pout when I’m out shopping lees
in the stores that close doors to appease. Just don’t bring it down south; you’ll get punched in the mouth pushing sexual proclivities. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Pushing sex you're all pro libertines?
I should think you'd be pro in-betweens since you're all grouchy grumps come from ancient mug-wumps who eat lunches of mixed salad greens! ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
