so, do we appreciate your business

these Rackety Rows upon rackety rows
isled in Navy.
squishity melons, cheekity flat
gravity's robbery, parkity packed
go hauling, be perching
'pon luggage so large:
                     ponderous bird, so henfully
                                                    incfully brooding

Advention, extortion
they hawking salt potion
(eastwest be drilling to tap into gusher) which
yank up our tension, at-
traction, want More
more mouth, more sels (more smackerels)
be dollop a-yonder, recline on a lounge
                                      (now Donder, now Blitzen
                                        so leapfully bound)

Ka-charging, ra-ra
ra-wracking advance (pom-poms all a-flailing)
we skeeter bescatter
      jiving crab walking
      pumping up jam
      sponging de onions:
     [tag ragging]
     [box juking]
     [hop hipping]
     [bug jitting]
     [toe tipping]
     we spin on de dime.

the rackety cargo, rows upon
scuttle 'pon Zenith
bending o'clock
     to filligree fully flown folly
     to trumpet Styx Rivers
     to language our shivers
     to tickle da timbres
     to rollick on high.

apply now, gain fly now
     stack up some miles
now day to the morrow
     with compliment smiles
begin at the ending with style

shortlong, this
wa- wendering westerly southery dusk
pass upon passing, pasturely passing
     the coke and the bust
     the yolk and the dust
                   as watery well
     jauntily sequined
     heavily dredged
     prickly sedged
     dutifully clenched
     manfully twerked
     bernestly zerked
     crustily jawed:

the boozle, the bamble,    the
robin-topped stable
raking out great honking
rackity clackity
chimney-topped
festoons of brass.
