No gravestone for Alan, he said,
but a slab in a lab for his bed. Experimentation will make a summation that Alan was one thoroughbred! ·······  ······· |

As a thorough-bread, Alan's now slabs
for sandwiches at those rehabs for poetry drunks who lie on their bunks and edit their work in drib-drabs. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

A poet found sleeping with crabs
would need a new mattress; the scabs will heal if he keeps away from those creeps he used to pick up in the cabs. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

If you use a cab to pick up chicks
you had better hope it's meter sticks while you look for a honey you'll run out of money and wind up doing your own tricks ······· ·······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.

Doing tricks in a cab just for kicks
while driving results in a fix! If the road is too bumpy it’s up the old stumpy, and possibly scratches or nix. ······· ······· |

All these answers you're asking about
can be had, so just give me a shout; no more ignoramus, just demand mandamus, and your knowledge is easy to flout.

If your partner at once becomes queasy
it's likely that she thinks you're sleazy, so find your way out before there's a shout that she's fainted and you become wheezy. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
