“As the poem at the left is by the leader of the Katsushika poetry group, Bunbunsha Kanikomaru (Little Crab), it is not surprising that the subject of this surimono is the tiny benkei crab, drawn, as customary, to appear somewhat comical. The second poem, on the right, is by the important actor and figure in Edo, Ichikawa Danjuro VII, signed Sansho the seventh, his pen name.”

You’re making me feel like some cryptid being studied by Steve Irwin 🥰

So for my sporadic sermon this time around, let us remember these teachings from yours truly…🙏

Your body is a temple

Allow all to enter

Cum so plenty

The balls are always empty

Be not afraid

Take that cock

Big and hard

Bounce up and down

Shake side to side

Sing that glug-glug sound

Loud and proud

Stuffed so full

Round and taut

For there is no shame

With gallons gushing out
