Maw Maw, More Manitobas

Gary gave a dollar to the man who took the bills
but the bottom of the bookshelf fit me think
of fastened thrills of a brand new opened novel
with the creases be all ours, so I took my money
backwards telling time atop'a flowrs when
a moocow was a baby that is when we called her calf
My initial thought about her was to bring her to the
aft but the starboard side awaited an arrival of her too
when the cows are born a sailing there's not one thing we can
do to decide for them their future undirected by the stars
lanterns astrolabes and compass cannot fixate them as ours but
the time ol' badge of songcraft and a mellifluous voice of
a solitary siren sending sounds without a choice whether she
can stand the tempest wit'a battled verse 'r two or if she must
stay on firm ground wit da tunes that we all knew, yea while we
were all escaping Gary grew an inch or two as Adamastor
played billy-goat (boar) in aborting all my crew
