If your thinking has gone to the head
in the Navy, the loo's what is said to contain all your humor; at least that's the rumor: your potty-mouth's smellin' near dead! ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Enormous expellin' by Navy
is battleships' steak 'n' brown gravy. They lay it on thick an' don't care a lick how loud or how much it makes wavy. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

It's rough at my age without greens

As we keep our rough age within means
life appears a whole lot like sardines. Those trips to the can were not in the plan but they’re more than just standard routines. ······· ······· |

Cross-legged an' fightin' wit Mable -

How peaceful life is eating staples
like pancakes with syrupy maple once tables are set upright and Merl gets his pants up and tied with a cable. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

If Merl can tie pants with his cable,
he surely is perfectly able to flip over pancakes or barbecue lamb steaks and then truss up errant young Mable. ······· ······· |

Methinks Mable ain't young; look at Merlin!
Were she so, don't ya think she'd be hurlin' at the old man's advance. I don't think there's a chance; she's confined to wheelchair and purlin'. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

She’s purlin' and wheelin’ her carriage
since Merlin is not into marriage! He’s fleet on his feet and the lassies he’ll greet --- what Mable has tried to discourage! ······· ······· |

I'll challenge ol' Merlin to race
and doubt the wise sage could keep pace with my platinum knees though I'm fat, if you please, but I still have my will-power and grace. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

These two buzzards together? A nit...
unless Grace was there with them, they'd sit and get wet while they wait all the while, they'd de-bait the fine art of how best to egg sit. ······· ·······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.

Grace hasn't been here for some time
and I cannot see reason or rhyme for watching some egg 'neath Merlin's ol' leg ta hatch out a bird in such grime. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Hatching birds from an egg is no crime
but I don't think a leg is the clime; higher up on the hand better suits the demand for bird hatching if you have the time. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Higher up on the hand? Where is that?
Don't recall that location in chat that we've heard here so far. We'll give Larry a star for explaining his meaning... and grats! ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
