A barmaid in Munnik called Maud

When Karl curled his mustache and bitter

It was all doomed to end in disaster,

Preventin' romance? What a thought!
A fella who’s gotten real hot looks out for some peace as a form of release so he doesn’t stay bound in a knot. ······· ······· |

By a knot we are bound to convention,
don't suffer a misapprehension, from the crib to grave we are forced to behave - if you don't, you'll land in detention. ······· ······· |

You don't land in detention if you'll
treat a girl like a lesson in school. Make an "A" in wood shop she will never say stop and may even help you clean your tool. ······· ·······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.

Learning to keep a clean tool

If you needle the family jewels
you better obey all the rules. Acupuncture (or prick) too close to St Nick will make your face look like a ghoul’s! ······· ······· |

If you look like a ghoul in the face

Can a can of paste keep neighbors new?
It just might if the signs which you glue and stab into your lawn say "Stay Out" and "Begone" in ten languages; even Bantu. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

an immigrant from Quintero, Chile. Despite all his labors he never had neighbors because he was really too silly! ······· ······· |

He was really too silly because
he did not believe in Santa Claus or the rabbit of Easter who uses it's keester to lay chocolate eggs without pause. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Choc'lit eggs? Do they give men a pause
to wrap them in glitter and gauze? Will their sexual drive now no longer thrive? Will their women respond with applause? ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

It’s plausible women respond,
especially those who are blond. Some brunettes and true reds might only shake heads when they see a young buck and his frond. ······· ······· |
