Perambulators were usually called prams

So terambulators must have been trams.

Language has  ways

In which logic plays

No part except to activate jams.

Absconding tempts the confined,

Even when they  must leave their own minds.

Better make  mine pliable

So I am less liable

To take leave as my senses unwind.

Some people get addicted to writing.

Better than relying on fighting.

Graffiti permitted

Helps us the dimwitted

Project our unconscious by biting.

In all Things, all Things service do to all:

And thus a Sand is Endless, though most small.

And every Thing is truly Infinite,

In its Relation deep and exquisite.
