...I cannot sleep so through the aperture I look,
The crescent shining a marvellous bright
The scenery as if straight out of a book,
The sound of the crickets in the dead of the night,

...A boss can The Vigorous retire
While the latter is still a live wire,
His arms still sinewy, his feet sound tires:
The one who vibrant kids sires...

A boss can send home his firm's tears' dryer...

The Black Knight

They embark on a noble track.

With steely resolve and sharpened swords,
