Transcript:
What is so sweet and dear as a prosperous morn in May,* The confident prime of the day and the dauntless youth of the year, Where nothing that asks for bliss asking aright, is denied, And half of the world a bride groom is, and half of the world a bride? * From 'Ode In May' by William Watson. Arlo: A little poetic license, methinks!

I love the cow on the side of the bag…That’s pretty funny…..I wonder if Gene and Mary Lou have a cow yet. Susan, got your tomatoes in yet?

The poem means “Everything that wants a boink gets a boink… and everything wants a boink.”

Mad dogs and Englishmen boinking in the noonday sun.

It’s even funnier if you imagine, as the position of the bubble suggests, that the cow says the line.

I always liked that Arlo and Janis obviously have the hots for each other. I’m glad to see that other fans have lusty inclinations too.

The real world is rarely an improvement on poetic fantasy.
