Once again dear reader,

tin hatted man,      
     qua zee moat tow "FAKE" King
     po' whit laureate selective keen

     hemming and hawing,

     while feigning bing
     a suave hill Billy blue jean
wearing brand Levi Strauss,

     for a savvy German
     businessman hood deed glean
prospective market for
     denim made easy to clean

     proletariat aye assert 
     would be my status
     if born circa
     late eighteen hundreds by

     both named (Elisha) Eli
for short slaving away to feed,

     and clothe this then little guy,
who whiz fain to appreciate my

     of Abraham Maslow,
     albeit modified ad hoc
