manatee

A brown herbivorous sea mammal that is home to Florida, and mainly the Everglades National Park

From time to time I dream that I’m a manatee
Undulating underneath the sea
Unshackled by the chains of idle vanity
A modest manatee, that’s me

I look just like a chubby, brown banana-tee
As I nose along the cozy ocean floor
Immune from human folly and inanity
That’s why a manatee is such a happy, herby bore

I’m a manatee, I’m a manatee
I’m every bit as wrinkled as my grannity
No difference between my face and fanity
A noble manatee, well, that’s me

With the dietary habits of a manatee
I never fail to lick my platter clean
I sprinkle seaweed on my raisin branity
The perfect manatee cuisine

With my wit, sophistication and urbanity
I dignify my watery domain
No one near will ever hear me use profanity
Because a manatee has his image to maintain

I’m a manatee, I’m a manatee
I keep my reputation spick and spanity
No difference between my face and fanity
A speakly manatee, well, that's me

Encumbered by my lumbering giganity
I’m thought to be an ocean going brute
The least appealing creature on the planety
But to a manatee, I’m cute

I prefer my world of silence and of sanity
But my underwater friends don’t all agree
For whenever I am dreaming I’m a manatee
Somewhere a manatee is dreaming that he is me

I’m a manatee, I’m a manatee
Outside the fold of boring old humanity
No difference between my face and fanity
I’m a rolly polly, jelly rolly, sugar bowly
Heart and souly manatee, that’s me

grounding pin

A safety feature on a power outlet that creates an emergency path for electricity to travel through if a short circuit or fault happens within the device

European type F Schuko sockets have two clips on the top and bottom sides rather than a grounding pin, and type F plugs, like type E French plugs, have holes for the clips which play a main role in protecting both the socket and the plug.

A word no one’s ever thought of before. This happens when you press each letter, number and punctuation mark on the keyboard without pressing the Shift key to reveal the numbers on the number line and then using the Shift key you type the special symbols instead of the numbers.

Me: “Let’s see what words we haven’t typed into Urban Dictionary yet. Have we typed qazqazwsxwsxedcedcrfvrfvtgbtgbyhnyhnujmujmikikololpp?”
Daryl: “Yes, this word is already there.”
Me: “So let’s think of another word. Qawzsexdrcftvgybhunjimkolpqawzsexdrcftvgybhunjimkolp, this word has even more sex than anyone’s ever seen”
Daryl: “Yeah. I would type `~1!2@3#4$5%6^7&8*9(0)-_=+qQwWeErRtTyYuUiIoOpP{}aAsSdDfFgGhHjJkKlL;:'"\|zZxXcCvVbBnNmM,<.>/? instead.”
