               Ten thousand sweat'n 
                     Nautical milez 
               hern sweet redolence
                          i recall

                          Three
                           i say
                     three months
                        repairing 
                        sail cloth
         shhh'stab'n mine cramp'd dukes
                   with this awl and
                    rusted needles
                          whilst
            Soak'd most uv the time
                          Unto
            Mine already wet bonez

                       Az candy 
                       Poetically 
                      'Bout hern
                          i lust
                        recall'n
                  hern sweeten'd
                     never bitter
                'pon mine tongue

                         yumi
                    mine mochi
                         soon 
                'pon mine tongue
