Cousins of Lidmen, por Robert L. Martin

Cousins of Lidmen

Cousins of Lidmen of package mysteries

who don’t make the opening up a breeze;

then cousins of bottle cap conundrums

who screw on the caps with multi sons,

screw them on with a team of horses,

turning and turning with mighty forces;

a drink for only the hearty man

with muscles of steel and petrified sand.

Forget the weak and feeble thirsters,

the thirsty workers and the sweaty sisters,

the haters of the cousins of the Lidmen

who fasten the caps with a thousand men.

Rise up thou men of unstrong muscles.

Revolt against the Lidmen of Brussels.

Don’t drink through the binding straps.

Curse the men who fastened the caps

and don’t drink at all for evermore.

This is part two to go with the poem Lidmen.

Or drink from snap top lids. Metaphors galore! The weak and the poor struggle all the time. Hardly any opening is wide open. Often screwed shut. You want a filet steak all you get is a skinny hotdog if at that. Ha! Like. Thanks Robert.

All that you have to go through if you're thirsty these days. You need a stick of dynamite to get the cap off.
