Oh sleepy Joes!

From your slumber deep, wake up quick/ before it’s too late to wail and moan, as time tick(s).

Face reality, see the bitter truth, pretend not!/ in the cobwebs of discussion and plans; do not get caught!

Let us not be "past history,” march forward, multiply/ laughing stock for others we are; of our own accord, we will have to cry.

So, wait not, marry within the fold and have babies aplenty!/ Soon we should multiply and become a million and twenty!

If we determine, there’s no reason to stop, ever/ march on! Look behind? Never, never, never!
